Prahu Stool
Size
Our Round Wooden Stool
Dilapidated boats found unseaworthy are consigned to an unknown fate until discovered by us and re-born into a Prahu Stool. Each piece has its own distinct features for the next owner to relive its saga.
Seat Height: 43cm
Materials: Recycled teak & powder-coated steel
The product is crafted from recycled Teak hardwood.
To source the timber used in this piece, Vast locates sunken fishing boats found in freshwater bodies all around Indonesia, raises them up, dismantles and harvests the pieces of wood, drying it all out and then re-crafting it into new beautiful furniture with its own unique story.
Since we began utilising this overlooked resource, we have re-floated hundreds of boats (we always save the carved Bowsprit from each salvaged vessel) to harvest the wood and we’re sure we don’t have to tell you how much of an impact that has had on recycling! Teak has a coarse texture and a colour which develops with age. Practically imperishable under cover, it has been known to last in temples for centuries.
This piece has been handcrafted by one of our Vast Masters, these individual cabinet makers have been manufacturing Vast products for over a decade. Using traditional joinery techniques to maximise the timber's natural beauty is a big part of the unique look of each Vast product. We call this "working with the grain".
Country of Origin: Java, Indonesia
Hardwood is a natural material which reacts to its environment and although our manufacturing process allows for normal expansion and contraction, extreme high or low humidity may cause more swelling than normal. To minimise movement and ensure longevity of your purchase we recommend taking good care of your piece as outlined below:
- Dust regularly with a clean cotton cloth;
- Use tablecloths, table runners and coasters to help prevent scratches to the surface and wipe up any spills immediately;
- To nourish and protect your furniture we recommend waxing with a natural beeswax every 6-12 months.
- Only use natural wax, oil or water based cleaning products. Do not use solvent based cleaning products that may contain silicone or alcohol, as this may react and permanently damage the lacquer.
- Do not expose to fragrant oils, insect repellent lotion, or nail polish remover as these are often solvent based and will damage the lacquer
- Avoid placing your furniture near fireplaces, in direct sunlight or under heating/cooling vents.
- Do not leave hot items or ice cold items directly on the surface of the table as water marking may occur.
- Any metal work featuring on your product has been powder coated. Any damage to the surface should be contained as soon as possible to prevent rusting.
