"DEDON was born out of a love of the outdoors, a willingness to think differently and a relentless pursuit of quality. More than 30 years and 1000 employees later, nothing has changed."
30 years is not a long time in most businesses. In ours, though, it’s practically forever. That’s because, simply put, there was no woven outdoor furniture industry before DEDON came along. The first to weave synthetic fiber into luxury outdoor designs, the first to place an absolute premium on quality, the first to become a truly global brand setting the standard for woven outdoor furniture since its founding in 1990.

At Gloster we open doors to timelessly beautiful exteriors where your furniture sets the mood, just the way you want it to be. And we take the long view, using only the very best materials and techniques available. Our aim is your pleasure – to be enjoyed in countless special moments outdoors.
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.
The benchmark hardwood for fine outdoor furniture for more than 700 years. With a beautiful buffed sheen or a soft natural finish, every piece of Gloster teak originates from carefully managed plantations and is thoroughly inspected to ensure that quality endures. A closegrained hardwood with a high natural oil content, teak is exceptionally hard wearing, highly resistant to rotting and almost impervious to the effects of sun, rain, frost or snow – the first and only choice of timber for outdoor furniture. Because it matters.

Out of the private passion for the garden and the desire for the highest quality, emerged an idea, and then a company, and finally a concept and embodiment of excellence, as gradually the small, but fine collection became known and sought after among insiders. In Germany the name of Garpa became synonymous with the great Country Garden Tradition and with furniture, enduring, timelessly beautiful, and completely removed from the whims of fashion and impervious to the ravages of weather.
