Triangular 3 Drawer Chest Recycled Teak Wood

Weathered teak brings a quiet, lived-in warmth to a room, with the kind of surface that feels as though it has already held many stories. This three-drawer chest is made from recycled teak wood, giving everyday storage a slower, more characterful presence. It suits the small things that gather beside a bed, in a study, or in a calm corner of the home.

A characterful chest with three quiet drawers

• The triangular form gives the piece a more sculptural feel than a standard straight-sided chest.
• Three drawers offer tucked-away storage for small household pieces, papers, keepsakes or bedside essentials.
• The rustic finish keeps the wood’s varied tones visible, so the surface feels warm rather than over-polished.
• Original colour traces in the reclaimed timber give each chest its own pattern of contrast and age.
• It works well where storage needs to feel gentle and personal, rather than purely functional.

Recycled teak, made by hand in Bali

The chest is hand-made in Bali using mostly upcycled teak wood from retired fishing boats. That reclaimed timber brings knots, marks, tonal shifts and weathering into the finished piece, so variation is part of its nature. Teak is valued in furniture for its dense grain and natural resilience, which is why it has long been used for pieces made to last.

Living with reclaimed teak

Place it where its triangular shape can be seen, beside a bed, against a study wall, or in a nursery corner for smaller everyday things. Wipe with a soft, dry cloth for regular care. Avoid leaving water sitting on the surface, as natural wood is happiest when kept dry and allowed to breathe.

A second life for working wood

Reclaimed teak carries a different feeling from new timber. Here, wood that once belonged to fishing boats is brought back into domestic use, keeping its weathered colouring and rustic texture rather than sanding away all trace of its past. In Indonesian furniture making, this kind of reuse gives strong hardwood a new purpose while preserving the irregularity that makes each board recognisably its own. No two chests will look exactly alike, and that is the quiet appeal of the piece.

Common questions

Will every chest look the same?
No. Because the wood is reclaimed and the piece is hand-made, the colouring, grain and rustic marks will vary from one chest to another.

Is this antique furniture?
It is not described as antique. The character comes from recycled teak wood, including timber from retired fishing boats, rather than from the finished chest being an antique piece.

Does it need special care?
Keep the surface dry, dust it with a soft cloth, and avoid harsh cleaners. Reclaimed teak is sturdy, but standing water and abrasive cleaning can dull the finish over time.
