Space Furniture has gone from strength to strength since it first struck ground in Sydney in 1993. Not content with just opening more showrooms across Australia, Space has also expanded further into South East Asia, becoming a furniture-selling powerhouse across the whole region. Space doesn’t design and develop its own pieces like some others on this list but instead devotes itself to sourcing only the finest third-party producers to fill out its collections.

A self-confessed “100% outdoor company”, Italian furniture brand Roda firmly believes outdoor spaces should be treated with as much care and attention as their interior counterpart.

Much of Roda’s seating collections are modular, allowing you to build your own pieces to perfectly fit your space.

Gloster Furniture can have its history traced back to the 1960s when it first started making wooden furniture in West Africa. After experiencing high demand, the factory was moved from Africa to Asia so that it could make use of naturally grown teak wood. New owners came in in 1992 and the factory was moved to a different site in Indonesia, but where it could still have access to teak.

Known for its water-resistant and durability properties, Gloster uses teak in the majority of its outdoor furniture pieces. The brand also makes use of other materials including stainless steel and aluminium.

Paola Lenti outdoor furniture really needs to be seen to be believed. Totally unique in her approach to design, Lenti creates pieces that are much works of art as they are functional furniture pieces. While most outdoor furniture will be made from materials such as wood, stainless steel or other metals, Paola Lenti has a penchant for fabrics, and the designer has even developed their own fibres that help to withstand harsh sunlight or torrential downpours.

Using fabrics and yarn also gives Paola Lenti outdoor furniture an incredibly cool look that will elevate your outdoor space like no other.

Dedon pretty much invented the woven outdoor furniture market when it was founded in 1990.

Naturally, we had to feature a brand that makes a conscious effort to be as sustainable as possible.

These sustainable materials are then fashioned into handsome pieces of furniture that add style and sophistication to your outdoor spaces.

Italian brand Ethimo creates outdoor furniture pieces that are designed to encourage you to literally sit back and relax.

Of course, if you don’t have such luxury but do have an outdoor space that is flooded with sunlight, Ethimo’s tables, chairs and sofas will still feel right at home.
