For more than 700 years, its beauty and weather resistance have made teak the wood of choice in outdoor furniture design. By choosing only trees that are naturally grown and at least 35 years old, Gloster ensures the higher density and higher natural oil content that are synonymous with exceptional quality.

Out of concern about the overexploitation of teak forests, Gloster established its manufacturing plant on the island of Java in the early 1970s. This allowed the brand to souce materials from the surrounding plantations managed by the Indonesian state. The plant now employs more than 750 local artisans and has had its own plantation since 2018. Its zero waste policy and respect for both the environment and the work of its employees are points of pride for the brand.
