Jensen Outdoor began in Australia in 1980, when craftsman Max Jensen launched Jensen Jarrah and started building outdoor furniture from native Western Australian hardwood, often using flooring-mill offcuts. He brought the brand to North America in the early 1990s. As jarrah became scarce, Jensen partnered with Bolivia’s Roda Group in 2008 and shifted the line to FSC-certified ipe, which led to Jensen Leisure Furniture. The company relaunched as Jensen Outdoor in 2021 and continues to build on that focus on responsibly sourced hardwood.
Jensen Outdoor makes luxury outdoor furniture for the North American market, including dining tables and chairs, sofas, sectionals, lounge chairs, chaise lounges, Adirondack chairs, benches, and bar seating. Collections range from the traditional Heritage line to Opal, Laguna, Sky, Mix, and Velo, with designs created alongside designers in the United States and Europe. The brand’s designs have earned industry recognition, including ICFA Design Excellence honors in 2023.
Jensen Outdoor’s production spans three countries. Ipe furniture comes from the company’s factory in Santa Cruz, Bolivia, near the more than two million acres of FSC-certified forest that supplies its timber. The company makes teak furniture in Phu Yen Province, Vietnam, and produces woven pieces in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam. The company’s Sandston, Virginia, facility handles administration, warehousing, and cushion manufacturing.
Ipe is Jensen Outdoor’s signature material, a dense Bolivian hardwood that resists rot and insects and ages naturally to a silver patina. The brand also uses FSC-certified teak, prized for its high natural oil content, along with powder-coated aluminum frames and Solara Fiber, a PVC-free, 100% recyclable high-density polyethylene weave. Cushions and upholstered pieces are offered in Sunbrella, a 100% solution-dyed acrylic, or Ultraleather, a waterproof, marine-grade performance fabric.
Questions & Answers
Where can I buy Jensen Outdoor furniture?
AuthenTEAK carries Jensen Outdoor furniture, including Ipe wood and woven seating, tables and sectionals. Jensen Outdoor says it sells only through North American retail partners rather than directly online, and it lists retailers by state or province on its own site. Warranty claims also go through the retailer that sold the furniture, so keep your purchase records with the seller you choose.
Is Jensen Outdoor good quality?
Jensen Outdoor is a well-established maker of FSC-certified hardwood furniture, formerly known as Jensen Leisure, with more than 25 years in wood furniture design. Its frames use solid Ipe heartwood, and the company describes rounds of structural and aesthetic testing during development. Buyers can judge the quality from the wood itself, since Ipe is roughly twice as hard as teak.
Where is Jensen Outdoor furniture made?
Jensen Outdoor furniture draws on several countries, with administration, warehousing and cushion manufacturing in Sandston, Virginia. Its Ipe timber comes from Santa Cruz, Bolivia, woven materials from Cebu, Philippines, and teak from Phu Yen Province, Vietnam. Design teams work in the United States and Europe, so origin varies by material, and shoppers should check the listing for the exact piece.
