From sculptural seating to atmospheric lighting, these Gloster designs elevate outdoor living with comfort and understated luxury

The best outdoor spaces feel effortless: equal parts inviting and refined, natural and designed. Few brands capture that balance as beautifully as Gloster, whose collections of outdoor furniture combine enduring materials like plantation teak, aluminum and stone with silhouettes that feel as timeless as they are modern. Inspired by everything from the clean geometry of yacht decking to the rustic spirit of island living, these pieces are made to weather the seasons while enhancing the atmosphere of a garden, terrace or poolside retreat. And for Toronto shoppers, each of these Gloster designs is available exclusively through Jardin de Ville, making them a rare opportunity to bring world-class outdoor luxury home.

The Small Seating Unit from Gloster’s Deck collection offers a sculptural simplicity that invites effortless lounging. Crafted from solid plantation teak and topped with a low-profile cushion, the piece sits close to the ground for a grounded, architectural presence. Its linear base echoes the meticulous planking of vintage sailing yachts, while the plush cushion and angled backrest ensure comfort never takes a back seat to design. Perfect as a standalone daybed or paired with other Deck modules, this versatile unit anchors any outdoor space with quiet sophistication.

A soft rectangle on a quiet teak plinth, the Salina Large Ottoman reads like a modern island—a generous landing for bare feet, a perch for extra guests, or a tray-topped table at cocktail hour. The rounded cushion edges keep the silhouette relaxed and inviting, while the pared-back base adds a whisper of rustic warmth. Style it with a linen throw and lanterns and it becomes the anchor of a plush, beachy seating scene.

The Deck Coffee Table is pure teak elegance—broad slats and a natural finish that feel as if they’ve been lifted straight from the deck of a luxury yacht. Its low, expansive surface creates a natural gathering point, whether styled with a cluster of lanterns, a vase of wild greenery, or simply left bare to showcase the richness of the wood. The slatted top allows light and shadow to play across its surface, making it feel airy despite its generous proportions. Durable and timeless, it anchors an outdoor lounge with quiet strength and refined simplicity.

Few things feel more indulgent than rinsing off under the open sky, and Gloster’s Garden Shower turns that everyday ritual into an outdoor design statement. A slim, powder-coated aluminum stem rises elegantly from a circular teak platform, its slatted surface evoking the deck of a sailboat. Polished brass fittings add a subtle glint of luxury, while the simple geometry keeps the look modern and architectural. This gem among the Gloster outdoor furniture collection is perfect poolside or tucked into a leafy corner of the garden—bringing spa-like ease and a touch of the unexpected to outdoor living.

Part sculpture, part shade, Sol casts a soft pool of light beneath a woven “halo” of all-weather wicker. The slim, powder-coated stem rises from a sleek base like a sundial at dusk, while the wheat-toned canopy filters daylight by day and glows from within at night thanks to an integrated, dimmable LED. Use the remote to dial the brightness for aperitivo hour or a moonlit dinner; choose freestanding or fixed versions to suit terrace, pool deck, or garden.

As tactile as a found stone and just as timeless, Pebble pairs a weighty, veined stone base with a softly rounded shade for a look that reads sculptural by day and glowingly intimate by night. The powder-coated top diffuses light into a gentle pool—perfect for dressing a dining table, flanking a sofa, or punctuating a low wall with warm highlights. A leather underside protects surfaces, while the rechargeable LED and RF remote let you dial brightness (eight settings) from up to 65 feet away. With roughly three hours at full glow—and the option to swap in an additional light unit—it’s an elegant little beacon for any outdoor tableau.

Crisp, no-nonsense lines give the 180 Stacking Chair its quiet confidence: a slim, powder-coated aluminum frame traces the silhouette of a classic wooden chair, while a taut sling seat and back keep the profile light and breathable. It’s the kind of chair that disappears visually around a long table—letting the garden and the food take centre stage—yet feels supportive through lingering dinners. Stack four when the party spills to the pool or storms roll in; add the fitted covers to keep them pristine between seasons. Durable and elegantly unfussy—like much of Gloster outdoor furniture—it’s a workhorse that still looks tailored.

The heritage brand’s latest model reimagines the hearth for contemporary living

For many Canadian homeowners, the fireplace remains the symbolic heart of the home—a place to gather, unwind and anchor family rituals. But in 2025, that doesn’t mean settling for a drafty wood-burning unit or a showpiece that barely produces heat. The best fireplaces today need to combine efficiency with atmosphere, design flexibility with reliability. Few companies balance all of these demands as seamlessly as Valor Fireplaces, a Canadian heritage brand that has been setting the standard since 1977.
