Available in either Brindle, Harvest or Copper color ‘French Cane’ style all-weather wicker combined with a delicate, plantation teak frame, Kay’s lines combine timeless style with practical comfort.

The Kay Collection lounge sits within Gloster's permanent outdoor catalog, a position Gloster has held as one of Europe's oldest premium teak houses, with FSC chain-of-custody held continuously for over two decades. Manufactured at Henley-on-Thames, UK, United Kingdom, since Gloster was established in 1960. Kay Collection is produced in Grade A FSC-certified Indonesian teak, powder-coated aluminum, and proprietary outdoor wovens as part of Gloster's premium British FSC teak outdoor programme, with the configuration designed by Gloster's in-house design team.
Gloster's lounge pieces are built around Grade A FSC-certified Indonesian teak, powder-coated aluminum, and proprietary outdoor wovens. For US trade specifiers, this means Kay Collection carries the same material data sheets and US-trade documentation as the rest of the Gloster catalog: ASTM F1858 outdoor furniture compliance where applicable, fire-code classification on cushion components, and chain-of-shipment documentation supplied with the invoice. Bespoke fabric or finish substitutions are accepted on COM workflow with confirmed yardage at quote stage; see the Sunbrella and Outdura specifier reference for the workflow at the European factory.
Pricing for Kay Collection at US trade typically falls between $3,500 to $11,000 per piece at US trade, before fabric grade, finish premium, and consolidated freight. Lead time is 6-10 weeks from European port to US port for standard configurations; bespoke dimensions, COM upholstery, or large hospitality volumes extend by 4-8 weeks. The collection is specified in US hospitality outdoor (boutique hotel terraces, resort pool decks, restaurant outdoor dining) and in premium residential outdoor (lake-house, pool-house, rooftop terrace) installations.
Standard Kay Collection configurations ship 6-10 weeks from European port to US port. Bespoke dimensions or COM upholstery add 4-8 weeks. Hospitality projects above 50 pieces consolidate on a single container and follow the same standard timeline.
Yes. Gloster runs a verified US trade programme. Net trade pricing for Kay Collection is shared after qualification (designer of record, project scope) and is set under the Gloster non-disclosure agreement applicable to all premium European outdoor specifiers.
Most Gloster collections, including Kay Collection, accept COM upholstery and bespoke dimensions within manufacturer tolerance. See the FF&E procurement workflow for the full COM and bespoke sequence, including fabric yardage, factory shipping, and lead-time impact.
Gloster FSC teak develops a silver patina within 12-18 months of US outdoor exposure. The patina is the natural protected state of the wood; no sealing is required. Annual cleaning with a soft brush and mild soap is the only maintenance routine. Powder-coated aluminum components carry a 10-year warranty; teak structural elements are warranted 10 years. Service life of Gloster teak in US installations is typically 30-50 years with annual cleaning. For projects that prefer to retain the original honey color, Gloster supplies a teak protector for application twice per season.
