The Havva Wooden Naga Bench is carved from a single piece of teak sourced from Nagaland, aged roughly 60 to 80 years. It is long, low, and hollowed out like a trough, with carved animal heads on both ends that watch over the piece like quiet guardians. This is not something that was designed in a studio. It was shaped by hands that understood the wood and the traditions it came from.
The deep, dark brown finish is entirely natural, built up over decades of exposure and use. You can see the patina shift across the surface, from deep mahogany tones to warmer amber patches, each one a record of time passing. The short, angled legs keep it grounded close to the floor, giving it the feel of a ceremonial or communal piece, something meant to be gathered around.
Use it as a bench, a low display surface, or a sculptural accent in a living room, gallery, or covered outdoor space. It does not need context or explanation. The weight of the wood, the carved heads, and the decades of natural ageing speak for themselves. This is heritage furniture in the truest sense.
No two pieces are alike. Yours will have its own grain, its own marks, its own quiet story.
