Lister Lutyens Outdoor Furniture Ranges

Lister Lutyens garden furniture is famous for being crafted to a high standard. The company has a history of producing classic and beautiful designs of garden furniture. These pieces of furniture are very durable, strong and easy to maintain. There are also more contemporary designs of garden furniture available, and the Lister Lutyens company are continuing to develop their range and enhance their products.

Lister Lutyens garden furniture originated over one hundred years ago. The name and design of this furniture comes from two men, woodworker Robert Ashton Lister and architect Sir Edward Landseer Lutyens. The early collaborations also involved the work of garden designer Gertrude Jekyll. At first Lister made wooden garden products for local parks and gardens, but worldwide popularity followed and Lister Lutyens remains today as a name associated with high quality teak garden furniture.

The original wooden garden products made by Robert Lister were crafted from teak salvaged from old ships. Teak is often chosen as the best material for producing ships and garden furniture due to its excellent weather resistant qualities and durability. Today Lister Lutyens garden furniture is crafted with the finest quality grade A teak wood. This wood is chosen for its characteristics of being weatherproof and long lasting as well as being extremely visually appealing. Teak wood is a practical choice for outdoor furniture, but is also attractive and stylish.

The teak used in the production of Lister Lutyens garden furniture is sourced from sustainable plantations, where the natural resources are carefully managed. It is important for companies that use wood as a material to respect the environment and contribute towards the maintenance of our forests. Lister Lutyens is a responsible company, and this care reflects in their final artefacts and level of quality.

This range of garden furniture is crafted to a high standard and with attention to detail. The heritage of the company contains traditional craft techniques and inspirational design skills. The modern collections include the use of materials such as stainless steel and textiles. Lister Lutyens is a company that prides itself in combining contemporary designs with traditional craftsmanship.

The garden furniture is built to last, and most pieces come with guarantees that may be valid for up to five years. Confidence in this company can also come from the extensive list of customers and the continued worldwide popularity of this furniture. This is garden furniture designed to allow you to relax and enjoy your outdoor space in style, safe in the knowledge that you own high quality furniture.

The craftsmanship in Lister Lutyens garden furniture is evident in the joinery. Each piece of furniture is made using traditional mortice and tenon joints, which are secured with teak dowels. The choice of teak is due to the qualities of the wood. Teak is a hardwood which is very strong and durable, has a high oil content and is very dense. Furniture made from teak can be left outside in all kinds of weather conditions, and does not need to be treated. Teak furniture is therefore very easy to care for.

If untreated teak is left outside in the weather for a long period of time it will change colour to an attractive silver grey. Should you wish to retain the original colour of the teak you can use Lister Teak Dressing, which is easy to apply. If your teak furniture has already changed colour to silver and you decide that you prefer the original tone you can apply Lister Teak Cleaner, and will be able to restore the original colour.

It is also quite simple to care for your teak garden furniture if common blemishes occur. If your furniture is placed under a tree the drops of rainwater falling from the leaves can result in marks on the wood. A light sanding with fine sandpaper will fix this. Wine spillage may also stain your furniture if you are entertaining outside on summer evenings. Wiping the wood with methylated spirits will remove this stain.

Not all of the furniture parts are made from teak, and there are some stainless steel components. These are also very easy to maintain, and can be wiped clean with a damp cloth and warm soapy water. Lister Lutyens also sell a Lister Stainless Steel Cleaner.

The Lister Lutyens range of garden furniture includes seats and armchairs, tables of various shapes and sizes, different styles of chairs, leisure furniture, occasional tables and tea for two sets.  The different collections of garden furniture designed by Lister Lutyens include the Arne Jacobsen range, the Broadway range, the KAAT range, the Kingsley range, the Rivoli range, the S Line range and the visually stunning PALMS range.

There is a design of garden furniture available to suit every taste. Lister Lutyens uses a winning formula of top quality materials, traditional craftsmanship and contemporary design to create beautiful and lasting luxury garden furniture.
