A band of talented entrepreneurs and furniture makers formed Gloster in West Africa in 1960, and the company has since become a worldwide leader in modern teak, woven, aluminum and stainless steel furniture. Every piece of Gloster teak—whether it has a buffed sheen or natural finish—originates from carefully managed plantations where the company only harvests what they have planted themselves. Craftsmen then build each piece, from every joint to rounded corner, creating outdoor furnishings ideal for lazy, sun-drenched days and evenings.
