What is the difference between teak and teak veneer?
The difference between teak and teak veneer is how much of a piece is made up of teak wood. Artisans craft solid teak furniture entirely out of teak wood. On a piece with teak veneers, pieces of teak get applied to a base made of plywood or a less expensive hardwood. On 1stDibs, shop a diverse assortment of teak wood furniture.

Jens Ingvard Jensen Trèfle Cabinet in Teak, Leather and Brass, Denmark, 1940s
Located in The Hague, NL
This exceptionally rare cabinet was designed and produced by the Danish cabinetmaker Jens Ingvard Jensen in the late 1940s. Jensen was one of the few Danish masters who established his workshop outside of Copenhagen, working in Odense, where he designed most of his own models and produced pieces largely on a bespoke basis. Only two examples of this particular model are known. The cabinet features a four-door front with organic quatrefoil cut-outs. Each door panel is clad in fine-grained black leather on the exterior and teak veneer on the interior, allowing the configuration to be reversed: by releasing the interior profiles, the panels can be flipped, creating either an all-teak or leather-front presentation. The leather could also be reinterpreted in another color or material if desired. Brass fittings, keys, hinges, and feet complete the piece with refined detailing.
