Timber Treasures – RJ Living's New Teak Collection

Since its inception in 2012, RJ Living has carved a niche for its one-of-a-kind furniture designs. The family-owned Australian business recently added a new teak furniture range to its collection, extending its considered signature into durable designs in a captivating timber grain.

For generations, teak has been a desirable choice among discerning design patrons, owing to its enduring strength, striking natural wood grain and ability to earn a graceful patina over time. RJ Living’s new teak furniture range holds a mirror to this movement, with thoughtfully designed furniture pieces to elevate living, dining and bedroom spaces. Designs are characterised by a harmony of elements, with leitmotifs of woven rope, soft fabrics and lightly tanned leather serving as a tactile counterpoint to the timber frames. To highlight the natural teak grain, RJ Living adopted a design vocabulary characterised by contrasting tones and unique shapes and textures. By extension, hallmarks of the collection include wide fluted handles and an elegant Sayerlack finish. Encompassing bedside tables, chests of drawers, console and coffee tables, dining chairs and king- and queen-sized beds, the collection is suited to a broad selection of interior spaces.

RJ Living’s commitment to quality is matched by its commitment to the environment. The company has partnered with Trees4Trees, a non-profit foundation dedicated to reforestation efforts in Indonesia, from where much of the teak is imported. Each teak product sold by the company is complemented by a unique swing tag that allows patrons to track the specific trees planted as a result of their purchase. The company’s association with Trees4Trees is pointed at promoting reforestation efforts and empowering local farmers in Indonesia to maintain livable and sustainable communities.

As with RJ Living’s other product ranges, the new teak collection is designed in-house in Melbourne and sampled and produced by responsible makers across the globe. True to the company’s design philosophy, this line is emblematic of the relaxed Australian lifestyle and exudes a timeless elegance that delivers a combined object lesson in form and function.
