No compromise, even where unseen.

What makes Mihenk last is not the first thing you see — it is the layer you don't. From material to mechanism, every component is a verifiable quality decision.

Registered design — swing and mechanism

Mihenk's form and its reclining mechanism are protected by a design registration at the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office (No. 2026 000125). The registration covers both the appearance of the swing and the multi-position mechanism.

Solid Iroko — with controlled drying

The frame is 100% solid Iroko (Milicia excelsa) — a dense African hardwood. Outdoors it does not rot or warp; over the years it patinas. The raw timber is kiln-dried to minimise expansion and contraction — the first line of defence against cracking and joint separation.

Italian teak oil — not varnish

The surface is sealed with three progressive coats of Italian teak oil. Unlike varnish it leaves no film; it penetrates the wood and lets it breathe. Sun and moisture are balanced; it does not peel or crack. One re-oiling per year is enough.

Cushion and fabric — Oxford UV 6+

Cushions are made with Oxford UV 6+ polyester fabric (240g/280m) for high UV resistance and colour memory. The fill is silicone fibre — it does not collapse or hold moisture. The cream tone softens, not hardens, in outdoor light.

Invisible connection architecture

A swing lasts only as long as its weakest joint. We use top-segment, corrosion-resistant stainless fittings — and we keep them invisible: with a hidden connection architecture, no bolt or screw shows from the outside. They do not rust or loosen even in salt coastal air, and are safely sized for a 400 kg load.
