At DM Braun, we use only the finest materials, with Ipe (Brazilian Walnut) being a tried-and-true choice for our durable and beautiful outdoor furniture.
Ipe (pronounced ee-pay) is a tropical hardwood harvested from the Tabebuia tree, native to Central and South America. Renowned for its exceptional density and natural resistance to decay, Ipe has been a favored material for high-end outdoor applications for decades.
Choose Ipe for outdoor furniture that demands the highest quality, durability, and natural beauty, ensuring an investment that will impress for generations.
Outstanding Durability: Ipe is one of the hardest and most durable woods available, with a Janka hardness rating of 3,684 lbf, surpassing many other hardwoods.
Weather Resistance: It naturally resists decay, rot, and insects, making it ideal for outdoor use in various climates.
Aesthetic Appeal: Ipe features a beautiful, dense grain and a natural deep brown color that can weather to a distinguished silver-gray if left untreated.
Longevity: With proper care, Ipe furniture can last 50+ years, even in challenging outdoor environments.
At DM Braun, we utilize Ipe in various outdoor furniture designs, from elegant benches and robust tables to custom seating solutions. Its exceptional properties allow us to create pieces that not only look stunning but also withstand the test of time and elements.
