Contemporary Teak Sofa

[applepie7 0]

I'm moving into a new house with my parents. However, they are interested in those darkly stained /glossy ancient wooden chairs/sofas.(often comes along with the bright red cushions)....as they are comfortable and cooling even when hot....I'm not that enthusiastic about their idea. Was wondering if anyone has any alternatives to this, maybe a contemporary design exist?

many shops selling teakwood furniture do customization, you could go and see the designs they have, then ask them to fabricate according to what you like. barang barang, natural living are some of the bigger shops in singapore. u can also take a look @ echoes of the east, widharja, teakland gallery (but dunno bout quality, cos i have not bot fm these shops)

i think what ur parents want are those chinese rosewood furniture kind, haha. for teak, most people like to stain it in dark walnut colour for a more contemporary look... hmm, at least, i do. custom-made all the furniture in my house... delivery round mid-end aug

ooh rose wood... yes that's what it's called. i mean...i guess i can learn to appreciate it. but the design is really.....yeah i've seen scanteak designs and its quite cotemporary...but my parents like to sit on the wood itself and scanteak has cushions. wonder if it's seat-able or comfortable without the cushions.
