8 Best Sustainable Outdoor Furniture Brands (2026 Guide)

MasayaCo

Kick back with MasayaCo’s solid wood chaise loungers, dining tables, end tables, and other seating options. We use one of their wooden stools in our house, but they have plenty of outdoor utility as well—especially if you’re in need of a temporary potting bench.

Otherwise, take a load off after a long day of gardening in the Verbena Patio Chair, which features a stylish, minimalist design of closely spaced wooden slats that won’t have your bottom hurting by the end of your beer.

MasayaCo. uses FSC-certified teak for all products—and often nothing else— finished with natural, low-VOC, and non-toxic outdoor furniture oil. Woven seating options feature a handmade polyester manila cord.

MasayaCo.’s sustainable outdoor furniture is entirely handmade by artisans in Managua, Nicaragua, which is also where all wood is sourced, often from their own forests. MasayaCo supports a seed-to-seat method of production. The company helps to plant hundreds of thousands of trees each year, far more than they harvest.

Sonoma Restorations

Sonoma Restorations brings the character of reclaimed wine and whiskey barrels to your outdoor space with handcrafted patio furniture including Adirondack chairs, rocking chairs, benches, bar stools, side tables, and coffee tables. They’re all designed to weather the elements while developing even more patina over time.

Each piece is crafted from upcycled wine and whiskey barrel staves and heads, reclaimed oak flooring, and barn siding sourced directly from regional wineries and distilleries. The wood’s natural aging process (from years of wine or whiskey exposure and controlled charring) creates unique color variations and texture that make every piece one-of-a-kind. Any virgin wood components are FSC-certified, and finishes use low-VOC, plant-based oils like natural tung oil.

All furniture is handmade by artisans in small workshops across the U.S., with materials sourced as close to each maker as possible to minimize transportation emissions. Sonoma Restorations designs every piece to be repairable with replaceable components and durable hardware, backed by a 1-year warranty for outdoor items.

The brand is a member of 1% for the Planet and the Sustainable Furnishings Council.

Loll Designs

Price Range: $245-$10K

Loll Designs wants to make your backyard a part of the circular economy. They started using recycled post-industrial plastic for building custom municipal skate parks but quickly turned to making outdoor chairs, tables, storage units, and more—all made entirely from post-consumer plastics.

Break out a bar cart when entertaining friends and family, or choose one of their many seating options for a quiet solo sit in your backyard sanctuary.

Loll Design uses recycled plastic, particularly #2 milk jugs, for which each product uses about eight jugs. You can also recycle your outdoor furniture when it’s reached the end of its life, including the aluminum insets and stainless steel fasteners. Their material reutilization program has all the details.

For any that feature Sunbrella upholstery and foam cushions, these aren’t recycled, but Sunbrella is a hard-wearing fabric designed to withstand harsh outdoor environments.

Loll Design purchases all materials and manufactures domestically in the USA. All their HPDE products have obtained a Cradle to Cradle BRONZE™ rating.

Ethnicraft

Price Range: $99 – $6,859

Ethnicraft was founded in Antwerp over 25 years ago and today offers a wide range of durable outdoor furniture including outdoor dining, outdoor lounge chairs, sun loungers, and tables and outdoor accessories like cushions and rugs.

All their wood is sourced from responsibly managed forests that are compliant with the EU Timber Regulations and the Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade (FLEGT) Action Plan. Some of their teak products are certified as FSC® 100%.

Cushions are OEKO-TEX 100 certified and the duck feathers they use inside are certified by Downpass. For other textiles they use cotton, wool, linen and synthetics which are made from recycled fibres and certified by GRS. Leather is certified by Blauer Engel.

Of these, we would recommend products made from solid wood (preferably the FSC certified teak) and linen as the most sustainable, though for outdoor use, the recycled synthetics may be more durable.

Products are manufactured in Serbia, Indonesia, Vietnam and Malaysia, and are regularly audited to ensure compliance with labour law, human rights and ethical social, and environmental conduct.

In 2020, the brand launched Live Light which is a furniture subscription service set up to encourage more circular use of their furniture.

Yardbird

Price Range: $150–$7,400

Yardbird uses mostly recycled sustainable materials for their affordable outdoor furniture, including sofa sets, loveseats, sectionals, and tables.

This recycled plastic outdoor furniture brand uses—you guessed it— intercepted ocean plastic from especially susceptible areas in the Philippines. Their wicker sets, for example, are 64% recycled, utilizing HDPE plastic wicker combined with fade-and-water-resistant synthetic Sunbrella fabric and foam.

The frames are made from recyclable aluminum or responsibly sourced Indonesian teak wood. Outdoor wooden furniture is also made from this Indonesian sourced teak (approved under the EU as sustainably harvested wood).

Their furniture is crafted one piece at a time with materials sourced directly from suppliers in the USA, Europe, and Asia. Final assembly takes place in Vietnam, China, and the US, though they’ve never confirmed their ethical policies with us regarding these factories.

86 Vintage

Price Range: $10–$27,000

86 Vintage has one of the widest ranges of vintage garden furniture we’ve seen. While it’s more fashionable and less functional on the whole, you’ll find a curated collection of antiques, vintage items, and primitive decor to go along with your garden recycling theme – most items would look great on the patio!

Products are second hand and made from various materials, like wrought iron, steel, pine, and other woods.

Emeco

Price Range: $340–$4,930

Emeco’s first chair, the 1006 Navy, was built by hand in 1944 from recycled aluminum for Navy warships and tested to last over 150 years. If that’s not sustainable, we don’t know what is. Emeco still carries its original chair alongside benches, stools, seats, and storage units— all featuring that timeless quality that’s suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.

Putting a modern twist on a classic pastime, the Heritage Recycled Rocking Armchair will let you rock on the front porch just like your grandpa used to, with a bit of cutting-edge tech to boot.

Roughly 90% of Emeco’s products are made from recycled materials—including recycled aluminum, recycled PET, recycled wood-filled polypropylene, wood, eco-concrete, and reclaimed cork.

Emeco crafts all of its outdoor furniture at its factory in Hanover, Pennsylvania, all the way from welding to shipping. They have a chair-to-chair recycling program, where their recycled plastic and aluminum products can be recycled endlessly.

They measure their carbon footprint (and that of each product) using a “cradle-to-gate” measurement, and all Emeco products qualify for LEED credits, too, so if used in a commercial setting, they can help buildings obtain LEED certification.

West Elm

Price Range: $49 – $9,096

If you don’t live near one of their 100+ US retailers, West Elm’s website makes shopping for outdoor furniture easy. Not everything is what we would consider eco-friendly furniture so be sure to read the materials section carefully.

Some of the furniture is GREENGUARD Gold Certified, while their wooden furniture is usually made with FSC-certified hardwoods from sustainable forestry-certified sources. Some of their other furniture uses natural fabrics, others feature yarn-dyed weather-resistant cushions made of synthetic fabrics—so be sure to take care to make them last.

Fair Trade Certified since 2014, 95% of West Elm’s products are designed in-house, but they collaborate with artisan collectives around the world to bring designs to life. Williams-Sonoma, West Elm’s parent company, has set SBTi targets to reduce their absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions.
