The owner of Indoteak Design, Frank Ragen, was looking for the worlds best reclaimed teak for his new dream home in La Jolla, California. When he couldn’t find a source that was consistent or of high quality, he went to Indonesia himself to find a better way to get what he needed.
Through his connections with humanitarian organization SurfAid International, he met a man who made the finest reclaimed quality teak products. Frank knew that the man was a master craftsman, the Indonesian man was making only home decor based furnishings, not flooring, so with Frank leading the design concepts, the two created our now legendary flooring.
They discussed how to develop a new line and make the construction process as close to zero waste as possible, all the while creating a high end flooring product that would be built in a different process that would make the engineered product as durable as the solid offering. With that commitment to quality, durability and to the environment, Indoteak Design was born.
In the decade since, Indoteak Design has maintained its commitment to the environment as well as introducing new products built to the same exacting standards as the original flooring. Tiles, decking, paneling and custom projects are all made to the highest standards.
There are many projects that make designers & architects dig deep for inspiration and challenge them to look for new ideas. They search for unique brands that have a story behind their products. Stories of substance.
This has drawn some of the worlds most renown design agencies to request our unique 100% reclaimed teak products. Not only for its unmatched beauty and durability, but also for its earth friendly construction. Firms like Myers Davis, The Rockwell Group and Studio Gee all use our materials for projects with their top-tier clients.
Our unique story of reclamation and commitment to the environment is one aspect. The other is that our flooring is close to bullet-proof. Our engineered flooring is made up of three layers, all made of cross-grain reclaimed teak, so the floor can acclimate with changes in temperature.
Pair that with our average wood age of 100-300 years old, and you have something that cannot be replicated anywhere. Quality, performance and integrity are in each of our products. We believe it’s the story that every designer, architect and client deserves.

MATERIALS
Our materials are 100% reclaimed teak wood delivered directly from our longtime partners located in Indonesia. We supply our reclaimed teak clean.
That means no added formaldehyde and VOC-free finishes, both in the production and during the installation process. This ensures the highest-grade hardwood without the worry of tarnish by harmful chemicals.
Teak is available in variations of rich colors and emits a warm, almost leather-like aroma. Unlike most woods, Teak holds high levels of resinous oils which keeps it from shrinking, swelling or warping.
As you can see, this wood has a reputation of extravagance because the products created from teak withstand the test of time without losing any of its luster.
