Profile

Summit Furniture Europe Ltd

With beautifully designed prime showrooms on all sides of the Atlantic, a healthy distribution network and sophisticated collection for all tastes, Summit embodies the global reaches of the luxury product market. Supplying deck furniture to the most expensive and luxurious of superyachts, to tables and loungers for the verandas of the most exclusive hotels and private residences, the reach and reputation of Summit’s products is unquestionable. When seated in Summit Europe’s Reymond-Langton designed showroom in London’s Chelsea Harbour Design Centre it is a far cry from Summit’s origins back in 1970s California, but one that was always destined to be.

Though Summit has unmistakably journeyed a long way in its quarter century of trading, the path it has taken, by no means easy, was determined because of the founding and guiding principals of the Summit product. From the changeable 1970s to the extravagant 1980s, the recession-driven 1990s and optimistic 2000s, under president Jane Sieberts’ direction Summit’s collections consistently produce quality solid teak furniture designed from a love of the beautiful fine-grained and enduring appeal for the material. Strong designs made from a natural and hardwearing material inspire confidence in all who see or experience the product, one that has been made for the enjoyment of the user, not for an elevated spot in a showroom.
