Is Teak Patio Furniture Still on Trend in 2024? Experts Share Their Insights on This Enduring Material

Teak is one of the most popular materials for outdoor furniture, but is it still in style? We asked experts to find out

Tony Peng, managing director at OASIQ, tells us that teak furniture has always had major staying power in the realm of modern outdoor furniture, but confirms that it’s more popular than ever these days. 'Due to its weather-resistant nature, it's impervious to moisture and pests which prevents it from mildewing with harsh weather and it also has UV-resistant qualities,' notes Tony. 'In addition, teak is extremely low maintenance since it's full of natural oils designed to protect it. So for outdoor furniture, investing in strong, durable materials like teak is essential.'

Tony goes on to point out that the resurgence of teak can also be attributed to a more widespread understanding and interest in how sustainable design can create a positive impact on our climate, environment, and homes. 'Most teak, especially the teak we use, is a renewable resource,' says Tony. 'It’s also the most long-lasting, resilient wood that can be made into furniture.' He explains that teak designs need minimal to no care and can last decades, thereby eliminating the need to replace your outdoor furniture suite setup every few years.
