Garden Armchair - Solid Teak with Algae Green Cushions | UMALAS

The Garden Armchair - Solid Teak with Algae Green Cushions | UMALAS is not a mass-produced piece of furniture, but a story that begins in Indonesia and arrives in your home. Its frame is made of recycled teak wood, which means the material has already proven itself: it has defied the elements for decades in its previous form, so now, as a 60-centimeter-high armchair, it remains steadfast. The surface of the wood is not rigid or smelling of lacquer, but silky matte, where every tiny line of the grain tells of nature's power. Beneath the Green Alga shade upholstery, a special, quick-drying foam is hidden, so after a summer downpour, you don't have to wait for days to reclaim your favorite spot. This piece of furniture, with its raw yet refined elegance, takes its final form through an 8-12 week meticulous manufacturing process before it leaves our warehouse for your home.

Where did we envision it?

This piece stands its ground anywhere, but it shines brightest where its character is allowed to flourish. Place it in the corner of a minimalist, concrete-paved terrace, where the warmth of the wood breaks the coolness of modern materials. It looks splendid in the shade of a veranda covered with Virginia creeper, where the algae-green color blends with the natural vegetation. If you love the morning sun, place it by the poolside, where the sparkle of the water highlights the golden-brown tones of the teak wood. In a spacious, glass-walled conservatory, it can also be a central element, creating a transition between indoor comfort and the outdoor world. Finally, you can boldly place it at the end of a hidden garden path, as a secret reading nook, as its robust structure will withstand the proximity of nature.

Why you'll love it

The main argument for it is its durability that spans generations. The high oil content of teak acts as a natural shield against pests and rot, so you don't have to worry about structural weakening. Its stability is impressive: the armchair has weight, it won't be moved by a strong gust of wind, and it won't creak under your weight. Cleaning is also free of drama, as the covers are resistant to outdoor use and can be easily kept fresh with a damp cloth.

Touch and Sight

When you run your hand over the armrest, you will feel the marks of time and the finesse of handcraftsmanship. The surface is cool to the touch, yet friendly, and it doesn't reflect light but gently absorbs it. The texture of the algae-green fabric is tightly woven and durable, yet pleasantly soft against the skin when you lean back in it wearing just a t-shirt.

Frequently Asked Questions

• How can I preserve the original color of the wood? Teak wood acquires an elegant, silvery-gray patina over time. If you wish to avoid this and prefer the warm brown tone, treat it with high-quality teak oil once a year.

• Can the armchair stay outside in winter? Although the wood is extremely resistant, the cushions should be stored in a dry place during the cold months. Cover the frame with a breathable protective cover for a long lifespan.

• Does it require assembly after delivery? The furniture arrives fully assembled, so all you have to do is find its place and put on the comfortable cushions.
