It was about this time last year that I found myself on the brink of disaster or maybe just a personal melt down. Either way, graduation was coming for me whether I liked it or not. There was nowhere to run, and nowhere to hide.
That was then, this is now. Now I am a designer of rustic furniture. My designs and inspirations come from recycled teak wood resulting in environmentally friendly furniture. My boundaries are limitless as I design rustic, western, lodge, and contemporary rustic furniture for both indoor and outdoor living spaces.
I have been with AdenWorks Ltd., a wholesale teak furniture company, for nine months. I have had the opportunity to design chairs, beds, nightstands, dining tables, coffee tables, hutches, and chests since I have been here. Last week we launched our brand new upholstered furniture line. (more on that later)
The journey to this position as a furniture designer has been in the making for years now, though I didn’t even realize it. Design has always been a passion of mine, though it has been lived out in many different areas.
I would like for you to get to know me and my story of how I went from a big-eyed college student wandering from one career idea to the next, to a focused and passionate designer for AdenWorks Ltd. I hope that I will be able to keep you filled in on what we are up to here in “Teak City.”
AdenWorks Ltd. is happy to introduce our new blog. We want to use this blog to keep you informed out what we are up too, discuss teak furniture, and keep up to date with the latest trends in the furniture world. We love hearing from our clients and we hope that this site will be a platform to talk about your desires regarding rustic furniture.
Since one of the most important aspects to the buyer is the quality of the rustic furniture, I thought I would talk a little bit more about teak wood’s abilities. Then tomorrow we will get back to your list of what clients want in rustic furniture for their stores.
If you are anything like me, when I first heard the words “teak wood” I just assumed it was another type of wood used to make furniture. However, the second I joined AdenWorks, I learned how drastically different teak wood really is.
The number one selling point for teak is its versatility. Whether you are wanting to dress up your indoor living space or create an outdoors escape, teak wood is your best choice.
Teak easily handles the ware and tear from everyday living, and it is definitely kid proof as well. Rustic teak furniture will surely add personality and beauty to your living space, but it will not be furniture you must be delicate with.
Teak furniture can also handle the great outdoors. If you want to liven up your outdoor living spaces with furniture, than teak wood is a must. Teak can withstand rain, snow, sleet, or shine. The science behind the wood allows for it to be so accepting of various weather conditions. (Later I will explain how teak wood can handle such variety.)
It is easy to see that teak wood offers way beyond what other woods can, making it a wonderful choice when it comes to indoor, and outdoor furnishings.
