Summit Furniture

What Summit Furniture does

Summit Furniture is a luxury outdoor furniture manufacturer founded in 1979 in Monterey, California by William and Jane Sieberts. The company designs and produces premium teak outdoor furniture for three primary customer segments: high-end residential, luxury hospitality, and the marine/superyacht market. Its product portfolio includes legacy designs by Kipp Stewart, the Arc Collection developed with yacht design house Winch Design, and the Paley Collection launched with Mark Anders in 2025. Each piece is engineered for durability in outdoor and marine environments using Grade A plantation-grown Indonesian teak, marine-grade stainless steel fittings, and solution-dyed performance fabrics.

The business operates on a project-based, made-to-order model rather than mass retail. Summit sells through five company-owned showrooms located in Monterey, Los Angeles, Palm Beach, London, and Monaco — all situated in established luxury design districts — supplemented by regional representatives and a dedicated trade program for interior designers, landscape architects, and specifiers. Pricing reflects the premium positioning and is calibrated to bespoke specifications rather than off-the-shelf transactions, with anchor projects spanning luxury hotel fit-outs and superyacht interiors.

Summit Furniture is currently a subsidiary of Landscape Forms, Inc., the Kalamazoo-based outdoor site furniture manufacturer. Distribution remains boutique and relationship-driven, with named-designer collaborations and a lifetime guarantee functioning as core components of the value proposition rather than scale-based price competition.
