Teak was so prized by Europe's ruling elite that the most prestigious and powerful ships in the British Royal Navy had to be built using teak. In Hindu practices, depictions of the goddess of wealth and prosperity were carved out of teak wood. During the Ming and Qing dynasties in China, the rarity and elegance of teak embodied power and status, and teak furniture was a proud sign of career advancement.

A mark of prestige and a statement of success, teak wood promises nothing but the best. These beliefs continue in the modern era, and teak remains a staple for luxury homes, yachts, and illustrious architectural projects across the globe.
