Harrod Horticultural are excited to be launching the hand crafted traditional Southwold Garden Furniture Collection in Hall 7 at GLEE that is distinctive for comfort, style and quality.

The timeless designs feature 3 shapes of dining table, as well as bistro and coffee table designs, different variations of benches and chairs too. 

All are made from high grade steel which combined with excellence in British engineering and market leading finishing delivers exceptional quality that is made to last generations. In particular, careful consideration for comfort has been at the cornerstone of the design process, making these the choice for outdoor dining and relaxing.  

Offered with home delivery options, Harrod looking forward to working with the retail centres, offering point of sale display and brochures to support selling the range.

Timeless Elegance

Harrod’s designs are inspired by traditional English blacksmith furniture which became popular at the start of the industrial revolution over 200 years ago. Many of the shapes, forms and general look and feel quote directly from this heritage. 

Enduring Comfort

Where the Harrod designs differ from tradition however, is the depth of study and care taken to ensure that the furniture is as much comfortable as beautiful. Much thought has gone into the ergonomics of the seat designs and careful selection of material section and thickness to ensure just the right amount of ‘give’ is coupled with the required structural strength. The chair designs for example use a range of thicknesses of strip steel depending on the design need. The legs use 8mm thick strip for strength and rigidity whereas the seat base and back rest uses 3mm slats to give comfort and spring to the seat base. Cushions can be ordered with the furniture for ultimate comfort but we are confident that even without padding the chairs will be kind to your behind.

High Skilled Production

All of our furniture is hand made by skilled technicians and finished in our workshops in Suffolk where we have been manufacturing for over 65 years. Due to the handmade nature of the products all pieces are unique, these slight differences add up to sets of furniture with real soul and charm in a world of mass produced conformity. Before final finishing all of the products are dipped in a bath of molten zinc which envelops the steel in a blanket of sacrificial rust protection. Each furniture piece is therefore extremely tough and durable, and with a substantial weight, so will withstand the most extreme British weather.   

Durable Finishes

The furniture collection is guaranteed against rust for 10 years and structurally for 15 years, but testing suggests that the furniture can genuinely be considered as heirloom pieces that will last for generations if looked after.

Before the final finish, all furniture is hot dipped galvanised.

Painted Finish - high temperature powder coated in a 5 stage process using a technically advanced spray-line.

‘Etched’ Finish - the product is chemically ‘etched’ by hand after the zinc coating is applied leaving an antiqued appearance which improves as the product weathers. The magic of this finish, is that the character of each piece only improves with age, the more seasons pass the more the appearance is enhanced.

Seat Cushions

Make seating extra comfy with classically tailored, high quality external grade acrylic canvas seat cushions (PU coated). In a stylish pale grey colour, the rain resistant design is complete with button detail and 5mm piping around the top and bottom seams.
