History: Consignors description of buying the pieces: I purchased the "mushroom" table and the other teak root pieces on the island of Lombok, Indonesia (close to Bali). It was designed and handcrafted there from reclaimed teak roots from nearby Sumatra. These 100 year old roots are dense, heavy and long lasting.I saw the set being used in the small Lombok village of Lembar. Four men, smoking and playing cards on a dusty street, were soon forced to find alternative seating. It has been used outside since.
