The contrast in the materials is accentuated by the two colour finish. Either wood can be the dark or light part, but we recommend the option shown here as the strong natural lines of teak show well even through a dark finish.

Mailuan is Thai for "all wood". With a one piece joined teak top and solid teak carriage, this is a very hard wearing dining experience. The U-Turn chair shown in the set would ideally complement a modern clean setting, commercial or private, but if you want to add a touch of elegance, choose the Kerdee dining chair: shown here with a dark oak stain on the legs and seat border, and with the lightest possible finish on the joined teak centre section.

Teak Policy All of SOTO’s teak furniture uses only rediscovered wood. Many of our lines also make use of teak veneer plywood, the sources for which are Forestry Commission controlled. Whereas in the past Thailand was a centre of teak logging, now it is banned in all but controlled plantations, and therefore there is very little unprocessed teak exported from Thailand. In order to feed the teak furniture industry’s demand for the raw material, a country wide industry harvesting old and dilapidated buildings, rice barns and other structures has developed. In the longer term, of course, this finite resource will dwindle, and in preparation for that Thailand now has an extensive and carefully controlled reforestation program, of which teak planting is a major part. Many teak trees have been planted that will likely never be cut down, and where they will, the government strictly controls the age at which the trees can be cut.
Bamboo There are many species of Bamboo growing in Thailand, and different varieties have widely different possibilities for commercial and aesthetic use. This versatile quick growing plant has long been used as a building material, in musical instruments, and more recently it has been used to make a growing array of decorative items, from candleholders to beds. Some large varieties can be used to make bold furniture designs with strikingly simple and elegant frames. Smaller pieces can be crushed and made into all sorts of tableware and vases, or be used as panels in teakwood furniture.
