The Ike chair is a modern interpretation of this traditional basket chair. The basket seat is not woven in full, but only sparingly looped with rope-like synthetic wicker. The aluminium structure of the chair is powder coated and exposed to the elements, while the seat is composed separately from its curved back and armrest. Overall, this makes the Ike chair feel open, light, modern and approachable.
Compared to commonly used polypropylene, Wintons Teak only uses high-density polyethylene (HDPE) for synthetic wicker which is never brittle and will retain its shape.
HDPE outdoor wicker should also retain its colour and texture over time.
Wintons Teak provides a 3-year warranty for your peace of mind.
Strong, Durable Reinforced Alu Frame
For load-bearing structures, it is often necessary to reinforce the aluminium bar. Also known as hardened aluminium, this process involves inserting a steel rod or solid timber into the hollow aluminium bar to strengthen the component. This not only allows the piece to carry more weight, but it also limits the welded component from flexing, which undermines its durability.
Rich in Natural Oil
A-Grade Teak refers to the most mature part of the tree, found at the centre of the teak log. It is dense and rich in natural oil, which protects the timber from splintering and remains smooth even after years.
Our Teak Outdoor Furniture Never Need Oiling
Wintons Teak uses A-Grade Teak, which is rich in natural oil that acts as a film, preventing water from getting into the timber grain and rots it. Unlike other timber outdoor furniture that needs regular oiling and varnishing, you can simply leave Wintons Teak outdoor furniture out in the elements without any maintenance.
