iSiMAR
Mediterranean style meets eco-friendly industrial design
Contemporary outdoor furniture manufacturer iSiMAR has industrial origins and Mediterranean roots. They've worked expertly with the same natural and environmentally friendly materials for over half a century and evolved from making utilitarian fences and shelves to designing fashionable patio seating and tables.
Be Mediterranean - Cultural essence of enjoying life outdoors
iSiMAR began fifty-five years ago as Industrias San Isidro, a small workshop in Pamplona, Spain that made chicken cages, refrigerator shelves and other metal products. In 2012, the company redefined itself as an in-house furniture design firm that infused its metalworking expertise with the Mediterranean culture it embraces - one that acknowledges the intrinsic value of joy, well-being and community and celebrates being outdoors. Their imaginative collections are inspired by the natural landscapes and colors of their environment and express this relaxed living lifestyle.
Be Authentic - Industrial origins
iSiMAR has a heritage of fabricating industrial metal products that withstand humid and highly corrosive environments. The company has leveraged this expertise to produce long-lasting patio furniture for residential and commercial settings. This durability arises from their honed processes and chosen raw materials.
Controlled manufacturing process
Unlike most companies, iSiMAR has a fully integrated manufacturing facility that allows them to manage the process from beginning to end. This affords them tighter control over product quality, consistency and production timing.

High-quality durable outdoor materials
All iSiMAR furniture is manufactured from galvanized steel or aluminum rods, tubes and sheets. These corrosion-resistant metals come from 100&pct; recycled sources and are themselves recyclable. Their long lifespans reduce replacement frequency, decreasing the environmental impact. Other materials used for upholstery cushions and tabletops are chosen for their strength, weather and use resilience, and ease of maintenance.
