| At Raleo®, we use only the finest
quality cultured tropical hardwoods, planted and grown for us by
Tropical
American Tree Farms. We
achieve our uniquely beautiful furnishings and Surfaces by selecting
both the exquisite species of tropical hardwood, and the age
at which the hardwoods are harvested. Young teak for example, from trees between 7 and 9 years old displays a previously unknown combination of
beautiful grain and a unique iridescence or depth not found in teak harvested from older trees. We know of no other
furnishings company in the world making that unique distinction and
selection.
We often combine different species in
a single furnishing or Surface, including such well known varieties as
Teak, Mahogany and Purpleheart, and rare species such as Trebol, Wild
Tambran and Madero Negro - all cultured and grown for us by
Tropical
American Tree Farms.
By only using hardwoods that have been carefully and lovingly
planted and grown for harvest, Raleo® is not only helping to protect
the world's rarest exotic hardwood species but also working to
slow tropical deforestation by reducing the pressure on the world's
remaining tropical rainforests. Tropical American Tree Farms, through
years of ecologically sustainable hardwood farming, is producing exquisite
cultured tropical hardwoods and protecting endangered rainforest
habitats. Tropical American Tree
