Garden Lawn — Freestanding Focal Point

• Placement: Position in a corner of the garden with the two arms facing inward toward the lawn; anchor with a flat stone, decking tile, or outdoor rug beneath
• Pairs with: A low teak or rattan coffee table centred in the L, potted olive trees or bay topiary at either end, outdoor lanterns on the ground
• Lighting: Solar stake lights along a path leading to the sofa; string lights overhead on a pergola if available
• Styling note: The dark grey cushions read neutrally against green lawn and planting — they do not compete with garden colour and age gracefully across seasons

Patio or Terrace — Hard-Landscaped Setting

• Placement: Into the corner of a paved or decked terrace, arms running along the two boundary walls or balustrades
• Pairs with: Matching teak side tables, a low coffee table, outdoor candles in hurricane lanterns, trailing plants in terracotta pots
• Lighting: Wall-mounted outdoor sconces on the adjacent walls; a pendant lantern above if there is overhead structure
• Styling note: On paving, the teak warm tone contrasts well with grey stone, limestone, or concrete — the wood provides warmth the hardscape lacks

Courtyard — Enclosed Urban Garden

• Placement: Into one corner of the courtyard, oriented so the open side of the L faces the main sightline from the interior or entrance
• Pairs with: Tall planted pots, a wall-mounted water feature, string lights across the courtyard ceiling, a small fire bowl
• Lighting: Low-level wall lights to keep the scale intimate; avoid tall freestanding lamps in a small courtyard
• Styling note: In a small enclosed space, the corner format is particularly efficient — it seats multiple people without dominating the floor plan

Conservatory or Garden Room — Indoor-Outdoor Transition

• Placement: Against the back corner of a conservatory or garden room, away from direct roof glazing where summer heat is most intense
• Pairs with: Botanical print cushions for accent, woven baskets, indoor plants, a natural fibre rug beneath
• Lighting: Natural light through glazing is ideal; add a floor lamp in the corner behind the sofa for evening use
• Styling note: Teak reads well indoors as well as out — the natural wood grain brings warmth to glass-heavy spaces that can otherwise feel cold

Poolside — Lounge Configuration

• Placement: At the end of the pool deck, oriented to face the water; position so neither arm blocks the poolside access route
• Pairs with: Weatherproof side table for drinks, a parasol or sail shade above, outdoor storage for cushions nearby
• Lighting: Underwater pool lighting will animate the space naturally; add stake lights along the pool edge
• Styling note: Teak is one of the most appropriate materials for poolside use due to its moisture resistance; dark grey cushions require regular drying after splash exposure to maintain their appearance

Balcony — Compact Outdoor Living

• Placement: Into the corner of a balcony, with the L opening toward the view or the interior door; measure carefully — 69.5 cm per arm requires a minimum of approximately 150 cm clear on each balcony wall
• Pairs with: A small teak or folding side table, balcony railing planters, a weatherproof outdoor throw for cooler evenings
• Lighting: Battery-powered LED lanterns on the table; string lights along the railing
• Styling note: Verify balcony load capacity before installation — the sofa frame weight plus occupants should be confirmed against the structural rating

Rooftop Terrace — Elevated Setting

• Placement: Against the parapet wall corner with the L facing inward; consider wind exposure and cushion retention in high locations
• Pairs with: Raised planters along the parapet, a fire pit table centrally, parasol or tensile shade structure above
• Lighting: Weatherproof string lights across overhead wires; solar-powered stake lights in planters
• Styling note: Teak weathers gracefully in exposed rooftop conditions; cushions should be stored or covered when not in use in high-wind locations

• Why solid teak rather than teak-look composite or FSC-certified alternative? — Solid teak is the material from which outdoor furniture durability expectations are derived. Teak-look composites (typically powder-coated aluminium or synthetic rattan) are lighter and lower maintenance but do not carry the same thermal mass, grain character, or multi-decade longevity. If the outdoor furniture purchase is intended to last 10–20 years, solid teak is the correct specification.
• Is the water-based finish sufficient or does it need additional treatment? — The water-based finish provides initial protection and is appropriate for normal outdoor use. In the first season, no additional treatment is required. After 12–18 months, a light application of teak oil will refresh the colour and extend the surface protection, but is not structurally necessary — the wood itself is weather-resistant regardless.
• Will the dark grey cushions fade or degrade outdoors? — 100% polyester outdoor cushions are UV-stabilised and will retain colour better than natural fibre equivalents. Dark grey is one of the more fade-resistant colourways as the depth of colour masks gradual UV bleaching. Cushions stored or covered when not in use will extend their life significantly.
• Is 69.5 × 69.5 cm per arm large enough for comfortable seating? — At 69.5 cm width per arm, this is a standard single-seat module width for outdoor sectional furniture. Combined with the 15 cm back cushion depth and 60 cm seat height, the proportions are consistent with comfortable outdoor lounge seating rather than upright dining. The total L footprint across both arms is approximately 139 cm × 139 cm, which fits most patio and garden settings comfortably.

• Frame — routine: Brush off debris with a soft brush or dry cloth; rinse with a garden hose periodically to remove dust and bird deposits; allow to dry naturally
• Frame — annual: Sand lightly with fine sandpaper (180–220 grit) along the grain if the surface feels rough; apply teak oil with a cloth if you wish to maintain the warm honey colour; wipe off excess and allow 24 hours to cure before use
• Frame — weathering: If you prefer to allow the silver-grey patina to develop naturally, no treatment is required — the wood will weather to this tone without structural compromise over 1–2 seasons outdoors
• Cushions — routine: Brush off loose debris; spot-clean with mild detergent and warm water using a soft brush; rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry fully before replacing
• Cushions — storage: Store indoors or in a weatherproof cushion box during extended periods of non-use, heavy rain, or winter months; this is the single most impactful step for extending cushion life
• Winter storage: The teak frame can remain outdoors year-round; covering with a breathable outdoor furniture cover protects against leaf staining and reduces cleaning effort in spring

Does the frame come assembled or does it require self-assembly?
Please refer to the product packaging and any included instruction sheet for assembly requirements. Teak garden furniture of this type typically requires minimal assembly — connecting the two arms of the L configuration and attaching legs, if applicable. Contact us if you have specific assembly questions before purchase.

Can I leave it outside all year round?
Yes — the solid teak frame is suitable for year-round outdoor use. Cushions should be stored during heavy rain or winter months for best longevity. A breathable furniture cover over the frame during winter is recommended but not required.

Will the teak fade or change colour outdoors?
Untreated teak will weather from its natural warm honey-gold tone to a silver-grey patina over 1–2 seasons — this is a natural characteristic of the timber, not deterioration. If you prefer to maintain the original colour, apply teak oil seasonally. The structural integrity of the wood is unaffected either way.

Are the cushions waterproof?
The 100% polyester cushion fabric is water-resistant and will shed light rain, but the fill is not waterproof — prolonged exposure to heavy rain will eventually saturate the cushion interior. Store cushions during sustained rain and ensure they are fully dry before replacing to prevent mould development inside the fill.

What is the total footprint when both arms are in L configuration?
Each arm measures 69.5 cm in both width and depth, so the full L configuration occupies approximately 139 cm along each wall. The overall seating depth from the outer back to the front edge is 69.5 cm per arm. Allow additional clearance of at least 60–80 cm in front of the sofa for comfortable entry and exit.

Is this suitable for a small courtyard or balcony?
In principle yes, provided the available wall lengths are each at least 70–80 cm. On balconies, verify the structural load rating with your building management before installation — teak is a dense hardwood and the fully cushioned frame has a meaningful weight.

Can additional modules be added to extend the seating?
This listing is for the corner sofa unit only. If you wish to extend seating with additional straight or armchair modules, contact us to discuss compatible teak pieces that can be coordinated with this corner unit.

How should I protect the cushions over winter?
Store cushions in a dry indoor space or in a weatherproof outdoor cushion storage box. Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent mould or mildew developing in the fill over the storage period. The teak frame requires no special winter preparation beyond an optional breathable cover.
