Designs to elevate the outdoors in sustainable and robust teak from Carl Hansen & Søn

CCarl Hansen & Søn has always believed in the importance of selecting the right materials. The teak used in the outdoor furniture collection is certainly a great example. Prized for its durability and coupled with a warm spectrum of colours, this tropical wood retains its beauty throughout the harshest of weather conditions, ageing gracefully with time.

Striving towards a more sustainable world, all teak in the Outdoor Collection is FSC-certified, which ensures that forests are responsibly harvested, while protecting other plants, the animals of the forests and the people working in and living off the land.

A highly elastic species with a tight wood grain, teak boasts a high oil content that allows untreated teak to last for decades without damage. This natural resistance to fungi, pests and moisture damage makes it a beloved choice for boat building, exterior architecture, and outdoor furniture design.

Carl Hansen & Søn has always been proud of working with inspiring designers in the Outdoor Collection, where they aim to bring original ideas to life with highest quality of craftsmanship.

Each designer brings their own unique vision and personality to furniture design: carlhansen.com

Alfred Homann’s sense of clarity and logic is evident in the AH Outdoor Series, where all superfluous details are eliminated in favour of simple expression and high functionality.

Bodil Kjær’s Indoor-Outdoor Series offers an uplifting study in architectural harmony, while a sense of lightness is present in Børge Mogensen’s Outdoor Series in the way the furniture can be arranged and rearranged so easily.

And lastly, Morten Gøttler’s ingenious Cuba Chair proves that a truly timeless design will be at home in a variety of contexts, whether that is inside or out.

What unites all four designers and their work is the powerful idea that modern design can enhance the human experience. Each used their work to bring people and nature closer together in new and thoughtful ways.
