Gloster
Gloster’s roots can be traced all the way back to West Africa in 1960, where a band of passionate entrepreneurs and furniture makers took the first steps on a long journey. By the late 1980’s, increased demand and access to plantation grown teak led us to move our factory to Indonesia. Today, the same passion, conviction and pride that launched the Gloster brand, continues to fuel our business. We may live in a different world than the one occupied by our founders, but one thing remains the same – we are furniture makers whose sole focus is to design and build the world’s finest outdoor furniture. Because we believe.

Good common sense and a passion for your craft will take you far.”
