Solid Teakwood Viking Throne by John Brevard

Reflecting Brevard’s belief that our world is made of fractal geometries, this armchair features repeating hexagonal and triangular patterns in both large and small scales. Equilateral triangles represent strength, with the upward pointing triangle symbolizing the masculine and the inverted triangle symbolizing the feminine. When triangles are conjoined into a hexagon, it is a symbol of harmony and balance. The strongest shape found in nature, hexagons signify the omnipresence of consciousness and significance distributed throughout the universe, to be posited by rational, logical, natural, technological explanations. This throne embodies that idea and will be the centerpiece of any room. This piece is currently available in either a versatile dark brown or clean, airy white-wash stain. Custom finishes are available for custom orders.

About the materials:
teak wood has long been prized for its durability and versatility. Long used for furniture and decoration by elites in its native Southeast Asia, teak wood then made its way to Europe by way of Dutch merchants. In the west, it’s often used for shipbuilding, due to its hardness and ability to withstand humidity and ward off dry rot. Unlike more common woods such as pine and oak, teak retains its natural oils and rubber even after being felled and processed. Because of this, teak has greater naturally weather-resistant properties than almost all other wood. The oils and rubber effectively weatherproof the wood, making teak an ideal choice for outdoor furniture. The wood is also naturally protected from dry rot and from fungi and parasites that can destroy other woods.
Given the long growth period of teak (typically 80 years until maturation), Brevard uses sustainably cultivated teak without irrigation or fertilizers for this collection in order to protect earth’s natural Habitat. All pieces are made with the highest quality (Grade A) teak from the heart of the tree to ensure maximum durability and versatility.
