THE MAKING
Wintons Teak furniture is made not only with exacting perfection but with passion. Every piece has gone through various expert hands. This is especially true for assembling, sanding, buffing and packing for the furniture. It is on years of experience, guided by passion and dedication that our quality furniture is built.
1. START WITH
SEASONED TIMBERCrafting quality timber furniture starts with well-seasoned timber, meaning that all wood needs to have a moisture content of 10% to 12%. This is achieved through a process of kiln drying, which subjects the timber to dry conditions to extract the moisture out. This ensures that the timber will not crack or split at a later date.

4. ASSEMBLING EACH
PIECE BY HANDIt takes more than 10 years of experience to become a master assembler. This means obtaining experience assembling all furniture pieces from chairs, extension tables and cabinets. The Leif chair is one of the trickiest chairs to put together and only our most experienced craftsman is able to satisfactorily assemble it.

7. HAND-BUFFED
SILKY SMOOTH FINISHIn order to get an extra silky smooth finish, all timber surfaces are buffed using wool. This is a process done by hand and again every inch is inspected to meet exacting quality standards.

LEIF
How do we create more volume from less material? How do we shape and form negative space to be occupied by a person? This is the design approach of the Leif chair, where only the bare essential is left, removing unnecessary stretchers and support bars. Consequently, only 13 loose pieces are needed for this chair. Less is More!
