Shikari Bench With Rope (loom

The Shikari Bench with Rope Loom is a seating unit measuring 150.00 cm in width, 40.00 cm in depth, and 56.00 cm in height. The physical footprint spans one and a half meters horizontally, providing linear seating capacity for two adults. With a total weight of 22.59 kg, the bench remains stable during regular use while allowing for repositioning within a room layout. The spatial volume displacement of the packaged or assembled unit calculates to 0.3300 cubic meters.

The primary structural framework consists of solid teak wood. Teak is a dense, close-grained hardwood native to South and Southeast Asia, containing natural rubber and oil contents that resist moisture absorption, fungal decay, and insect infestation. The timber components display a natural golden-brown coloration that responds to environmental exposure by developing a silver-grey patina over time if left untreated. The visible grain pattern varies across individual boards, showing straight to slightly wavy lines characteristic of mature Tectona grandis trees.

The seat surface features an intricate rope loom construction. Synthetic or treated natural fibers are tightly interwoven in a repetitive geometric pattern across the rectangular wooden aperture of the bench frame. This weaving method distributes weight evenly across multiple tension points, yielding slightly under pressure before returning to its original flat plane. The cord material resists stretching and sagging under standard daily loads, maintaining its structural tension and tactile texture across seasons of indoor or covered outdoor placement.

The joinery utilized in the assembly of the teak frame involves traditional mortise and tenon techniques, secured with wooden dowels rather than visible metal fasteners. This method accommodates the natural expansion and contraction of wood caused by relative humidity fluctuations in the surrounding environment. The edges of the teak members are hand-sanded to a smooth finish, removing sharp corners while preserving the crisp geometric profile of the legs and rails. The legs descend straight from the four corners of the seat frame, maintaining a uniform thickness that visually anchors the low-profile silhouette.

Measuring 56.00 cm in total height, the upper plane sits lower than standard dining chairs, aligning with the dimensions typical of entryway furniture, foot-of-the-bed placement, or low lounge seating arrangements. The 40.00 cm depth accommodates standard seating postures without requiring excessive floor space in narrow corridors or compact room layouts. The combination of dense hardwood and tightly secured cordage results in a rigid, load-bearing platform that requires no mechanical assembly upon delivery. Maintenance involves periodic wiping of the teak surfaces with a damp cloth and gentle cleaning of the woven loom using a soft brush to remove accumulated dust particles from the interstices of the cord pattern.
