At home outdoors
Since 1976.
For five decades, DEVON® has quietly defined a way of living outdoors. Crafting furniture that’s timeless by design, crafted to endure and proven in nature, since 1976.
DEVON® was born in the summer of ’76, when two Kiwi mates, Bruce Barnes and Howard Sneddon, set out crafting wooden furniture in their old tin shed. But it wasn’t just any furniture, it had to be “the best outdoor furniture money could buy”.
Today, after 50 trips around the sun DEVON® furniture lives on. Because after all these years, we remain rooted in timeless design, enduring materials and genuine craftsmanship.
Timeless by Design
Good design doesn’t need to shout; we let nature do the talking. DEVON® is shaped to settle in and outlast the changing seasons and trends.
Crafted to Endure.
The DEVON® difference is in the detail. From seedling to seat, every stage of our craft is informed by decades of experience and driven by innovation.
Proven in Nature.
Tested by New Zealand’s unforgiving environment for over 50 years, DEVON® is proven to last just about anywhere you call home.

The DEVON® was founded in 1976, but let’s fast forward to 2019 when Matthias purchased DEVON® to bring the much-loved brand back to its Auckland roots. With a love for the outdoors, an eye for design, and a childhood spent in his grandfather's woodworking shed, reviving New Zealand's oldest outdoor furniture brand made perfect sense.
