Sutherland Furniture is a luxury outdoor furniture manufacturer based in Dallas, Texas, specializing in fully upholstered exterior seating and architectural dining sets. Founded in 1994 by David Sutherland and designer John Hutton, the brand shifted the exterior design market by introducing tailored, deep-seating cushions previously reserved for indoor environments.
The company operates as an in-house manufacturer utilizing a network of global partners to craft its collections. Production relies on weather-resistant materials like marine-grade stainless steel, powder-coated aluminum, Belgian blue stone, and sustainably harvested teak. Sutherland frequently upholsters its frames using high-performance acrylic textiles from its sister company, Perennials Fabrics, which Ann Sutherland launched in 1997.
The brand collaborates with notable design studios, including Brad Ascalon Studio NYC and Bannenberg & Rowell Design. These partnerships define their aesthetic. Signature product lines like the Franck, Great Lakes, and Poolside collections feature a mix of slender organic forms and minimalist structures.
