Simple Solutions
Another way of highlighting something special is to place it
on something simple.
Teak Avenue
’s Burmese pieces are
solid, well made and fairly basic, some with rough, unfinished
edges that give a more rustic look.
If you’re looking for a display cabinet with glass doors,
shelving units or a high console to discourage little hands
from reaching for your special things, you’ll find an extensive
range here.
Managing director
Win Ko Ko Thaung
says, “I use a
teak display cabinet with an enclosed glass case to display
important pieces, with a mirror and glass shelving, so there’s
no dust. Your art is better enhanced if it’s displayed simply.
People often prefer their timber furniture to be simple, as it
makes them feel closer to nature.
“Teak is renowned in Asia for its beauty and durability. All
of my pieces are solid, and I try to make their designs very
plain so that they fit with any interior. I’ve found that certain
rustic pieces are particularly popular.”
Maintenance is easy, too; the protective coating that Ko
uses means that a quick wipe with a damp cloth is all that’s
required to clean them.“Everything here is designed for both
indoor and outdoor use, and can last 30 to 40 years in any
weather. Our strong points are the quality of the wood and
the all-natural colours. I don’t use any colour adjustments.
You can also feel that it’s natural.”
