About Them Outdoors

Them Outdoors is the home of design-led, original garden furniture, sculpture and planters. Made by artists and craftspeople in the UK.

Considered and thought-provoking, our collection includes cleft oak benches, aluminium stools, bronze sculptures, jesmonite sheep benches and shell-clad planters. Our artists range from sculptors and metalworkers to foresters and fine furniture makers.

Together we want to cast garden furniture in a new light. By introducing garden lovers, curators, collectors, interior designers and garden designers – to new materials, processes and makers. This is work which sparks conversations, quietly challenges preconceptions, and brings more beauty to a garden of any style or size.

Many of our artists are showing their work outside for the first time. Others are more familiar with having gardens as their backdrop. Either way, we’re delighted to be able to provide a home for their exceptional work.

 

The Founder

Them Outdoors was founded by garden designer and writer Tabi Jackson Gee. Tabi is an award winning garden designer based in Wiltshire, who works across the UK and abroad. Tabi also regularly contributes to The Financial Times, Country Life and House & Garden, reflecting on landscape design, gardens and their place within the wider cultural conversation.

Throughout her career Tabi has worked on many residential and commercial projects with interior designers and architects, and always felt there was a need a for a thoughtful and creative space – where clients and professionals alike could find inspirational, ambitious outdoor furniture – to compliment their indoor equivalents.

Much has been made of the recent craft revival, as well as the increasingly blurred boundaries between art, craft and furniture. It is Tabi’s belief that outdoor furniture and art have an important role to play in this cultural sea change. By celebrating and honouring the past, and pushing boundaries for what is possible with new materials, new processes and new ways of thinking.
