A bench for the places where the garden is closest: against the house wall, under the window, at the edge of the terrace. The Barlow Teak TLB 150 garden bench brings the classic image of a teak bench down to a compact size – 150 cm, enough for two people and a conversation, without the furniture dominating the space.
Its language is familiar: vertical slats in the backrest, wide armrests that can hold a cup, a base that does its job without unnecessary flourishes. It is the kind of design that does not age because it was never fashionable. Solid teak enhances this impression: a dense, oily wood that withstands rain and sun without paint and visibly develops character in the process. The warm honey tone of the first season gradually turns into a quiet silver-grey – or it is preserved if the wood is occasionally treated. What teak achieves outdoors is shown in our material overview.
Barlow Teak manufactures the bench in family-run workshops in Indonesia using plantation-grown teak. The result is a piece of furniture that can remain outdoors for years while looking increasingly at home – in the small city garden, in the front yard of a country house, on the hotel terrace.
Those who need more length will find the TLB series also available in 180 cm. And those looking for the classic in larger formats will find what they are looking for in Barlow Teak's STB series of benches – from 150 to 240 cm.
