Weishäupl
Bavarian outdoor furniture manufactory: teak, powder-coated steel and woven rope collections hand-made in Stephanskirchen since 1969, read for the US buyer.
A family manufactory built on outdoor living.
Weishäupl Möbelwerkstätten GmbH was founded in 1969 by Oskar F. Weishäupl in Stephanskirchen, Upper Bavaria. A trained precision mechanic, Weishäupl set up his Kunstgewerbliche Werkstätte with the aim of creating furniture and objects from scratch. A turning point came in 1974 when, inspired by a market parasol in Verona's Piazza delle Erbe, he developed a wood-and-canvas umbrella that became the company's first signature product. The Classic furniture line followed in the late 1970s, using teak for the first time.
Today the manufactory is led by the founder's children, Stefanie Weishäupl-Ehrl and Philipp Weishäupl, who took full ownership in 2010. Around seventy craftspeople work at the Stephanskirchen site. The catalogue spans sixteen furniture collections and nine parasol models, with designers including Thomas Albrecht, This Weber and Jan Benöhr contributing named lines. For US buyers, collections reach the market through authorised dealers, with lead times that vary by line and finish.
