25 Years of Experience

Munder-Skiles’ catalog reflects the diversity of our styles, from classic to modern designs, yet always unified in simplicity and practicality. Through the proper use of materials and handcrafting skills, we make outdoor furniture that has thin, elegant silhouettes, is immensely strong, and is inherently comfortable, even without cushions.

We intentionally designed this catalog to illustrate each piece from multiple angles, in different settings, and both with and without cushions in order to present the furniture as honestly as possible. We hope this helps to envision our furniture in any setting throughout the year, from a snow-covered field, a spring garden, a summer patio, or by a fall bonfire.

Our aspiration is to create furniture that complements nature without overpowering it.
