Summit Furniture's game-changing superyacht collection: eco-friendly teak meets award-winning design

Superyachts are synonymous with luxury and grandeur, and the furnishings onboard are no exception. However, the staple wood of the superyacht world, teak, is known for its harsh environmental impact. One company strives to change that - Summit Furniture. With a commitment since 1979 to create high-quality furniture with a conscience, this US-based manufacturer has been leading a teak revolution for over four decades.

Summit Furniture is renowned worldwide for its premium, responsible approach to furniture production, utilising plantation-grown teak in its award-winning designs. Its collections grace several globally celebrated superyachts, residences, and resorts with a particular fan-favourite being the Sundeck line.

The real difference-maker, however, is how Summit Furniture approaches teak production. The company puts a high premium on environmental sustainability with its practice of sourcing teak from monitored plantations in Indonesia. This eco-minded approach ensures that for every teak tree harvested, two or more are planted, effectively kick-starting the growth cycle again. This process not only provides secure supply but also grants benefits to the local economy and the environment. It results in a furniture brand endorsed with full certification from the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) assuring clients of responsible sourcing and production.

Summit leverages the expertise of globally celebrated designers like the UK-based yacht designer John Munford for its collections. The result is a truly innovative blend of functionality, style, renowned design, and a firm commitment to sustainability, that’s pushing the boundaries of what it means to be ’luxury’ in the superyacht world.
