Our commitment to durability
Our commitment to the environment manifests as design using durable materials as the starting point. We fabricate durable furniture that resists droughts, rain, sea air, frost and snow, year after year.
The sense of respect
Tectona is a company whose growth is based on craftsmanship. We optimise the use of materials and give preference to natural, recycled or recyclable materials. Our careful attention to natural resources, craftsmanship and the durability of our furniture also expresses our respect for our customers.
The tree, symbol of transmission
Transmission within Tectona is here represented by a literal family tree! The tree is estimated to be around 450 springs old, and symbolises the durability that characterises our furniture.
Fabrication techniques to ensure resistance
The quest for durability also guides the choice of fabrication techniques. The sturdiness of the furniture is guaranteed by using both traditional and modern technological techniques with wood, woven resin and aluminium, the three materials favoured by Tectona:
- Wood: use of entire sections; assembly without glue but with dowelled mortise-and-tenon joints.
- Resin: manual weaving to give a resistant mesh.
- Aluminium: corrosion-proof; coloured by powder-coating then placed in an oven for shock-resistance; treated by cataphoresis (parasol bases).
The resistance of each piece of furniture is tested at Tectona workshops in Normandy throughout the prototyping stage, under the supervision of a Meilleur Ouvrier de France.
Restore rather than discard
If, after a few years, your furniture is starting to look a bit tired, we will be happy to restore it to its initial splendour. Whatever the job, replacing a wooden slat, replace a leg, deep-cleaning, changing dowel joints…, your furniture will leave the Workshop as good as new, with a new lease of life.
After-Sales service for long-term relationships
Longevity of furniture is guaranteed by the after-sales service dedicated to repairs and replacement of renewable parts. The workshop is located in Normandy and is supervised by a Meilleur Ouvrier de France. Furniture is guaranteed for 2 years for normal outdoor use.
