quality We only use the best materials, selected for their resistance to external aggressions (UV, temperature variations, rain…). Our teak, selected for its high oil content, is dried then steam-treated to make it rotproof. Tectona also pioneered the use of synthetic materials such as woven resin, which is used around an ultra-light aluminium frame. Powder-coated aluminium, cast or in tubes, combines lightness with robustness and does not rust. With regard to fabrics, such as Batyline and Sunbrella: these are selected for their softness and solidity. All our products undergo rigorous...

teak : a wonder material properties Teak, a dense wood belonging to the Verbenaceae family and native to tropical regions, is a material that looks great and is optimally adapted to life outdoors, as it secretes an oil that confers protection against rotting and humidity. Moreover, furniture in teak is undemanding. Teak can be left outdoors all year round and it becomes more regal with age, blending discreetly into its surroundings. Teak does not split, and any cracks that appear on the surface are small. Over time, if teak is left untreated, a characteristic silver patina develops, lending...

with Christophe Delcourt 2001-2016 long-term collaboration with Christophe Delcourt Since starting out in the 1990s, Christophe Delcourt, though lacking formal training, learned all he needed to know about wood and about joining techniques via contact with talented craftspeople using traditional methods. This designer-editor remains guided by his passion and understanding of noble materials, and today he is renowned for his contemporary, well-crafted pieces. Christophe Delcourt’s style is timeless and elegant, attentive to function, characterized by frank, essential lines, seeking balance...

new for 2016 : Copacabana sun lounger This collaboration bears fruit once again: this year, Christophe Delcourt has designed a chic and welcoming sun lounger for the iconic Copacabana collection. The design, rational and minimal, places the focus on the wood. Comfort is guaranteed by the astute combination of teak and Batyline fabric, and is further reinforced by the generous width. The backrest has 6 reclining positions. Here, details are not for the sake of details but serve to underline the quality of the design. Beneath the seat is a storage space for towels and books, extremely handy...

with l’École Cantonale d'Art de Lausanne redesign : soft design evolution partnership with ECAL Tectona cultivates the art of forging new links in design. And in doing so lays the groundwork for the future. It was only natural that one day a collaboration would be established with one of the leading art and design universities in the world, ECAL. The Lausanne-based school was founded in 1821 and today has 600 students of 40 different nationalities. Its educational ethos is centred around reinventing itself, innovating and creating new models. Students enrolled in the master’s programme in...

Lausanne bench The project finally chosen for development was that of Anthony Guex, a 27-year-old native of Lausanne, whose design represented the optimal balance between present and future. The combination of aluminium and teak lends a thoroughly modern allure to this traditional bench. Incorporation of metal translates into a lighter bench and also introduces colour options. Although the aesthetics have been redefined, the piece retains all its elegance. see p. 39 inside back cover

outdoor lounge somerset The wide slats give the Somerset line its full and generous allure. The armchair and bench are also extremely comfortable, thanks to the low and deep seats, lightly curved backrests and the slightly angled armrests; together with the coffee tables, they form a remarkably sober ensemble. The advantage is that you don't need to worry about cushions!
