UNIKAT Mensch abstrakt - Upcycling art made of teak wood
Upcyle in its pure form. Around the teak plantations in Java a new art form has developed. The root cuttings of the teak trees, which are processed to wood, are collected and from them extraordinary sculptures like this one are made with a lot of skill and talent. A kind of 3 D puzzle.
A real eye-catcher is this abstract representation of a male body. With a size of 180 cm, the unique piece made of the valuable tropical wood is imposing. The typical colouring of this hardwood, in the interplay between light and dark wood, distinguishes the unique piece and will occupy a particularly decorative place in the garden.
Woodcarving art on the island of Java
The volcano-rich island to the east of Sumatra is considered Indonesia's economic centre and is home to Jakarta, the capital city of 9 million inhabitants.
Similar to Bali, centers of woodcarving art have developed on Java. The manufactories work a lot with teak wood, which comes from plantations or reused wooden constructions. For the detailed sculptures, the manufactories draw on long-established knowledge of woodcarving and combine this with innovative forms and techniques to create an art form.
Teakwood and its qualities to withstand the elements
The hardwood is a hard-wearing material that was traditionally used for shipbuilding. The valuable wood is at home in the monsoon forests of Southeast Asia. Its rather light colour is typical, interspersed with dark brown to black colour nuances.
The wood of the tall teak tree impresses with its resistance to weathering. Due to the high oil content of the tropical wood, your garden decoration made of teak will retain its charm and structure even after decades. Teak defies wetness and is popular to stay outdoors.
Exciting detail on the side: fungi do not like the wood at all and neither does fire - it is flame retardant!
