The Mandalay collection
teak. 19 pieces indexed in this collection.
Kingsley Bate is teak-first, so the browse unit is the material rather than a colourway: the timber is specified by how it is allowed to weather, not by a paint code.

Cushion thickness is deck arithmetic, not a style choice: the maker builds the bare frame deck low or high knowing what will sit on it, and the cushion is the remainder to a comfortable finished seat. That is why a dining pad runs thin and deep seating runs thick — neither is an upgrade on the other.
- For a bar or counter
- 5–8 cm perch pad — a perch is already high; a fully upholstered pouf must drain through its own core — there is no frame beneath to drain onto.
- Core
- Exposed pieces take an open-cell, fast-draining (reticulated) core: water passes straight through instead of pooling in the foam. A crowned profile sheds standing water by geometry. Neither makes a cushion waterproof — outdoor builds drain, they do not seal.
- Fabric
- Outdoor cloth earns its keep in the fibre. Solution-dyed yarn carries its pigment all the way through the fibre, so colour survives sun and scrubbing; surface-dyed cloth wears its colour off. Performance fabrics are water-resistant rather than waterproof, and mildew grows on dirt sitting on the cloth, not in the fibre itself — which is why the published care is washing, drying and standing a soaked cushion on edge to drain.
- Patterns & your own fabric
- Fabrics and patterns are fully specifiable — plains, stripes and prints, with repeat, direction and railroading captured in the brief so a pattern lands straight on every panel. Many pieces also accept customer’s own material (C.O.M.) — the brief asks rather than assumes.
The maker’s cushion grammar
Commission custom cushionsKingsley Bate specifies a cushion in three published steps — the piece, the fabric grade, the edge style — across four edge styles and two fabric tiers (Standard and High-Performance). Cushions are sized to the frame, and the maker’s own care page says it plainly: stand a soaked cushion on edge and let it drain.
Made to order through our supplier workshops — sized to this frame, in your chosen fabric, from a thin dining pad to a full deep-seating build.

Sheets are issued per piece against the current supplier revision, so the drawing you receive matches what will be built, not an older press.

- Weathering
- Teak is impervious to sun, rain and snow and is suited to salt-air positions. Left untreated it moves through honey to a silver grey over roughly a year. Treated, it holds its golden brown.
- Cleaning
- To bring the original colour back, use a teak cleaner — about thirty minutes for a bench. To clean without lifting the grey, soap and water is enough. Apply protector after cleaning to hold the golden brown, and reapply seasonally. A new piece needs no cleaner.
- Indoors
- Solid teak reads well indoors; oil or wax it when it is used inside.
- Care products on file
- Teak Cleaner (TC01B, TC01CS) · Teak Protector (TC02B, TC02CS, TC02A, TC02CL) · Teak Shield (TC04B, TC04CS). Protector is applied once or twice a year; shield two to three times a year.
- Assembly
- Most pieces ship knocked down in cartons and assemble in about fifteen minutes.
- Covers
- Fitted covers are made in solution-dyed polyester, colourfast to 1,000 hours of sunlight, with a water-resistant backing and buckles that stop water pooling.
