Mamagreen

In 2007 designer Vincent Cantaert had the idea to start a new brand of high end outdoor furniture. He understood that there is a growing niche market for cutting edge eco-friendly outdoor design. Mamagreen was launched in 2007 at the International Furniture Fair Singapore, and presented to the European market at the Spoga show in Cologne. Quality is essential to the growing success of the brand. To ensure the highest standards manufacturing is done in Mamagreen's own factory in Semarang, Indonesia. Mamagreen presents 15 collections, with more than 300 different items. Models include dining, lounge, pool and relax furniture. All furniture pieces are suitable for both residential and hospitality use. The idea behind the design process was to create a country chic experience: contemporary but with a bohemian touch. Clear lines, correct proportions and a subtle harmonious combination of materials are all characteristics of the Mamagreen style. Relaxing outdoors is one of life's greatest pleasures. MAMAGREEN furniture allows you to enhance the outdoor spaces around you.

Summit teak comes from a tropical deciduous forest tree native to Southeast Asia. The teakwood tree, is plantation-grown on the Indonesian island of Java. The wood is highly valued because of its beautiful grain and color and is preferred in shipbuilding and furniture making. Teak is strong and durable, almost immune to decay and contains an oil that is resistant to insects. The teakwood tree grows to 150 ft in height and is 3 to 8 ft in diameter at the base. The leaves are among the largest in the world, 2 ft long and 1.5 ft  wide. They yield a purple dye and are used for thatching and wrapping. Teakwood leaves are so rough to the touch that they are used for sandpaper in Asia. This tree also has tiny white flowers that grow in clusters and a small fruit the size of a cherry that contains oily seeds.
Since 1987, Summit products have been manufactured from plantation-grown teak.

Gloster Outdoor


Gloster's origins as furniture makers go back more than 40 years and today the Gloster name is synonymous worldwide with the best design and the highest quality in outdoor furniture. The wide range of furniture incorporates both classic and modern designs to cater for all tastes and requirements. From traditional to the contemporary, there is something for everyone in the Gloster range. In addition to teak, Gloster is experts in the use of a variety of materials for the manufacturing of furniture. Extensive use is made of stainless  steel, powder coated aluminum, man made wicker and sling materials.


Teak and The Enviroment
Teak trees are not indigenous to Indonesia but climatic conditions on the island of Java are ideal for growing teak.  Teak was originally introduced to the islands by Buddhist Monks, some 700 years ago. When the Dutch colonized Indonesia in the 19th century, they soon realized the opportunity to establish large plantations and introduced the sustainable management systems that are still in use today. Teak plantations are not much different than any other crop, except that the growing cycle is far longer. Within the plantations, the trees are continuously cared for by the local population and over their lifetime the trees are regularly pruned and the integrity of the plantations carefully maintained. This ultimately results in a better quality of timber - healthier wood, straighter grain and less knots. Ideal for use in outdoor furniture. Gloster works continually with the managers of the government owned plantations and other interested parties to ensure that everything to do with their teak is environmentally friendly
