Since 1979 timelessly beautiful garden furniture has been writing history. It all began in Escheburg in the north of Germany. In our Company Headquarters with its windows open to the world. Responsibility, respect and reliability – Garpa transforms intangible values into exquisite garden furniture.
The appreciation of value enriches life
That which makes our world worth living in, aesthetically pleasing and sustainable, is stronger than trends that will be forgotten tomorrow. The Garpa range harmoniously integrates advanced materials and innovative technologies in its collection of modern classics, wherever they serve ergonomics or provide even more comfort.
Therefore every new piece of furniture that we present has already proved its worth: in the meticulous selection of materials used, and in numerous design studies. The real 'evaluation’ however, takes place in the gardens and on the terraces of our customers – where it will become an enduring companion for people who appreciate perfect and long-lasting craftsmanship.
“In times when values like durability and reliability are sometimes sorely missed, the number of people who devote themselves to the maintenance of excellence, increases.”
Maren Köhler-Prehn, CEO
Resolute Values Design & Craftsmanship
Sustainable ideas for lasting values: furniture that retains its charm for generations fulfils contemporary expectations. Attention to detail characterises every design. Craftsmanship and innovative technology give it shape.
Exclusive manufactories
Garpa furniture is produced exclusively in small quantities in dedicated factories. Timeless design, sensitive use of resources, perfect craftsmanship and maximum comfort set standards and create a counterpoint to fast consumption.
One of Garpa’s secrets is the deep understanding of the natural grain of teak wood, the flow of which determines exactly where it will come to play its part in the design of our furniture. Already the cut of the selected wood creates the basis for our finely wrought traditional wood joints. The interplay of craftsmanship and knowledge of materials also makes it possible for Garpa to realise unusual forms that meet the requirements of modern design and comfort.
Our long-term experience also enables us to be supremely confident when choosing the most suitable surface treatment for each type of material.
Enduring function
When our designers equip furniture with special functions, their focus is on stable solutions that are easy to repair even after many years. If an individual part, which has been damaged by external occurrences such as storms or water, needs to be replaced or even if a particular screw has been lost – we keep spare parts in stock for so long that we have been able to fulfil every request to date.
Why Garpa furniture is only available directly from Garpa
Right from the beginning, it has been our policy to make our collection directly and personally available and in this way, ensure excellent consultation and service – right up to speedy delivery to your home. Comfort which will accompany you from catalogue and personal advice to the enjoyment of life with your furniture.
An heirloom Plantation Teak
For us teak is more than just a resource: it is a value which we wish to maintain and protect. This is why we have for many years now, been using wood only from plantations.
Evolved tradition
Like no other wood, teak withstands rain, sun, temperature fluctuations and frost – without varnish or chemical surface treatment. Garpa uses material exclusively from sustainably managed plantations, which due to their continuous regeneration of wood mass, bind large quantities of CO2.
Garpa became one of the first enterprises in Europe to apply for product-certification (COC) in line with FSC guidelines (FSC licence No. CO13733). In 1998, Garpa was awarded the COC certification code NC-COC-016417 (from June 2025 PBNCOC-016417), which has since been renewed every five years after successful reassessment.
