World’s oldest teak furniture maker is back for 9th SOLEX


The world’s oldest manufacturer of teak garden furniture has exhibited at every SOLEX since it started in 2008.

The company passed its 90th anniversary a few years back, and is now looking forward to celebrating its centenary in 2020. In the meantime, the focus is on developing new products, hoping to add to its tally of 18 awards for design excellence.

The award-winning in-house design team is led by Mark Tyrie but also likes to work with independent designers. Currently, they produce five major ranges designed by internationally-respected designers, each very different in style and approach, but each bringing valuable variation to the catalogue.

This year, Barlow Tyrie was chosen by the Royal Academy to complement their exhibition ‘Painting the Modern Garden: Monet to Matisse’, a hugely successful showing running that ran from January to April and attracted almost 400,000 visitors. Many of the individual ‘rooms’ making up the gallery space also contained teak garden furniture. This was an assortment of Barlow Tyrie Glenham teak seats and armchairs, and Balmoral teak tables - 29 pieces in all, and was designed to give visitors the opportunity to sit and reflect on the paintings as if in a real garden setting.

Of course, the company also manufactures outdoor furniture in stainless steel, powder-coated aluminium, and hand- woven synthetic fibre, with ranges often featuring a combination of materials; chairs with a stainless steel frame and teak seat and back, for example, or tables with a powder-coated aluminium frame and a teak top; a ceramic tabletop on an aluminium frame, or cord as on its teak Monterey chairs.

“Whichever materials we use, we make sure to source the best available, and to combine ergonomic design with manufacturing expertise,” they tell us. “Our aim is to make outdoor living as comfortable as it is stylish. In fact, to make sure that everything in the garden . . .is lovely!”
