About the Gloster brand.

The brand, Gloster, has a vibrant history that can be traced back to a group of passionate entrepreneurs creating furniture in West Africa around 1960. After growing demand and working on their craft, they moved their factory to Indonesia, where all their furniture has continued to be manufactured. Passion and pride are the pillars of every part of the Gloster brand and are the two things that have enabled the brand to continually make some of the world’s finest outdoor furniture.

Gloster are renowned for their use of teak as the primary material used in all their furniture. Not only has this material been a benchmark hardwood for furniture for over 700 years, it also has a beautiful buffed sheen, or soft natural finish that has now become synonymous with Gloster products. With an opposition to mass-produced furniture, Gloster manufactures every rounded corner and every intricate joint completely by hand with the help of the talented craftsmen that fill their factories.
