Counter and Bar Stool Set
The counter body is clad in vertical teak battens, evenly spaced and running floor to counter height. The top surface is black granite — set flush with the teak frame, providing a hard, moisture-resistant work surface appropriate for an outdoor bar setting. The counter plan is slightly curved or chamfered at one end, visible from the photograph’s angle.
Three bar stools accompany the counter and have a straightforward turned-leg construction with a footrest rung and no armrests, keeping the profile narrow against the counter face.

Custom Mini Pillars and Paneled Canopy
The canopy is the unit’s most distinctive element. Two lathe-turned teak columns rise from the counter surface, each with a stepped square plinth base and a pronounced baluster profile — wider at mid-shaft, tapering toward the capital. These support a flat canopy panel above, finished with a scalloped valance on all four sides. The scallop edge is cut rather than applied, running continuously around the canopy perimeter in a repeating half-circle profile drawn from Kerala temple and palace woodwork. The canopy extends beyond the column footprint on all sides, creating a shallow covered zone above the counter. A concealed light fitting is mounted to the underside, visible as a warm glow in the photograph.
Premium Wood: Teak
The teak used across the counter cladding, canopy frame, columns, and bar stools shows a consistent medium-brown tone, suggesting timber of matched age and origin. The batten cladding on the counter body displays straight, tight grain — characteristic of plantation teak milled at appropriate maturity. The turned columns, which require defect-free stock to hold a clean profile through the lathe, confirm heartwood selection. The canopy panel and valance show broader grain typical of wide-section cuts. No paint is applied; the surface tone is a clear oil finish that retains the wood’s natural colour.
