The Tobias teak table was designed by Arne Jacobsen in 1935. The table was designed for wholesaler Helge Wandel's villa which was designed by Arne Jacobsen in the early 1930s. For this villa, Arne Jacobsen also designed the St Catherine teak bench, which was included in his first major project abroad, designing St Catherine College in Oxford in the late 1950s. Over time teak furniture exposed to sun and rain will turn grey. The table requires no maintenance but if you want to preserve the dark brown color, the teak must be treated with oil. At Sika-Design we only use premium teak from Indonesia for our teak furniture. Our exterior teak products are made using plantation-grown teak marked with the Indonesian “Legal Wood” stamp. This teak sourcing is overseen by the Indonesian government, making sure that no tree too immature or too small, is removed from the forest.
