Ethan is passionate about hand-crafting bespoke high quality outdoor furniture. Jon has always said, “If something is worth doing its worth doing properly”. Skilled workmanship involving careful attention to detail, combined with both traditional and the latest construction techniques ensure the furniture is crafted not just for today, but for generations to come. Our Commitment to Excellence A Testament to Craftsmanship Test of Time Artisan Touch Innovation Quality Craftsmanship Premium Materials The Test of Time We are proud to be a pioneer of outdoor furniture making in New Zealand. Ethan Outdoor Furniture is internationally recognized for its exceptional quality and distinctive style. In the face of pressures to shift towards more economical overseas manufacturing, we have stood firm in our commitment to the tradition of New Zealand production and craftsmanship, refusing to compromise on the standards that have defined our brand. Artisan Touch Every Ethan creation begins with the finest materials, selected for durability and aesthetic appeal. Our New Zealand craftsmen, with their meticulous attention to detail, embody the essence of skill and passion. It’s their hands that transform raw timber into the stunning pieces that grace your outdoor spaces, each bearing a unique signature of quality. Blending Tradition and Innovation We honour woodworking traditions by employing techniques like steam bending, mortise and tenon joints, known for their strength and longevity, perfected by craftsmen over hundreds of years. Alongside this, we embrace modernity, incorporating marine grade stainless steel and solid brass fittings, and purpose-engineered components, to enhance functionality and outdoor resilience. We are dedicated to continual improvement and innovation throughout the product design and production process. Pride in Every Piece Our dedication to craftsmanship extends to rigorous quality control, ensuring every item reflects our high standards. Every timber furniture component is carefully graded by hand and passes through an intensive selection process. This ensures each piece performs to a very high standard. Stainless screws are neatly covered by flush finished timber plugs individually glued into place. Each piece is meticulously hand finished which ensures a silky-smooth, warm, hardwood surface that is magic to the touch and naturally draws you in. Premium Materials The beauty of Ethan furniture is not just in its appearance but in its construction materials. Marine grade stainless and solid brass fitting are used throughout the furniture to ensure to withstand New Zealand’s harsh coastal environments and long lifespan. Items such as the Umbrella winch, handle and Lazy Susan main centre bearing are all purpose engineered, hand welded and built from 316 marine grade stainless. Nylon foot glides all items are fitted with these to ensure feet of the ground and ease to move around.

We are thrilled to share the story of our latest project – a beautifully handcrafted Curved Garden Bench designed for the Mangaturuturu Hut, perched on the scenic slopes of Mount Ruapehu in the breathtaking Tongariro National Park. Crafting Comfort Amidst Alpine Beauty This bench is more than just a piece of furniture; it’s a testament to craftsmanship and an enhancement to one of New Zealand's most treasured landscapes. Positioned to offer a stunning view of Mount Ruapehu, the bench provides a comfortable resting spot for weary trampers, allowing them to soak in the natural beauty of the park. The Perfect Choice for Harsh Environments The Ethan curved bench was an ideal choice for this alpine location. Built from premium hardwood and constructed with materials designed to endure the extreme conditions of snow and heat, it promises durability and longevity. The bench replaced an original stone seat that had been in place for many years but was starting to decay. The history of the old seat was honoured by using the original stones as the base for the new bench. A Generous Donation This beautiful bench was kindly donated by Brian Carter, an early member of the Whanganui Tramping Club. Established in 1952, the Club has grown to approximately 250 members and continues to foster a love for tramping and the great outdoors. Historical Roots and Recent Improvements The Mangaturuturu Hut, built around 1956 by Club members and officially opened in 1958, is a cherished site for many. It has seen numerous trampers pass through its doors and has undergone significant improvements in recent years to ensure it remains a welcoming shelter. Ethan Outdoor Furniture: Proudly Supporting New Zealand’s Parks Ethan Outdoor Furniture is proud to supply its Garden Benches to many regional parks in the Whanganui area and throughout New Zealand. Having one of our Curved Benches located in Tongariro National Park is a particular honor. As New Zealand’s oldest national park and a dual World Heritage area, Tongariro holds a special place in the hearts of many. A Legacy for Future Trampers We hope this bench will be enjoyed by many trampers for years to come, offering a place to rest and reflect amidst one of New Zealand's most beautiful settings. It stands as a symbol of the enduring connection between people and the natural world, providing comfort and a moment of respite in a place of unparalleled beauty. Thank you, Brian Carter, and the Whanganui Tramping Club, for your dedication and contributions to preserving and enhancing our natural heritage. Join us in celebrating this new addition to Tongariro National Park and plan your visit to experience it firsthand.
