Hi. Love the chairs but I'm interested to know why you didn't use local craftsmen to develop the prototypes, which leads me onto asking about the materials and type of wood you used and your green and sustainable credentials?
Someone has to play devil's advocate here ;-)
PS Do you know a supplier of grade'A' exterior ply or even Marine ply anywhere in the south of Thailand? I know one just over the border in Malaysia but I'd prefer to use a local supplier if I could find one that sells a decent, gap-free product. Its for a small boat I want to make a start on :-) TIA
Thanks so much @nathen007 ! We used the Chinese company for the prototyping simply because of budget and time constraints. I was anyway doing business with them importing sofas. Out team at or factory were simply too busy and this kind of prototyping can quickly become very demanding on company resources.
Mostly we use reclaimed teak or plantation teak for all our furniture.
About the ply - I just asked my furniture partner but it's after office hours here so I will update you tomorrow...:)
Thank you so much!
I was surprised at teak! the forming and curves of the woodwork is incredible :-)
The rocking chair is not Teak..:) Here the details for the ply suppliers that we use..
