Heritage

Back in the early 1950's, post-war families in the USA were establishing households and becoming mobile. Cities were once again vibrant and enjoyable. Suburban communities were being created with clusters of new homes and apartments that included lawns, gardens, patios and pools. Roads were built to connect the suburbs to the cities. Eventually, 46,000 miles of the US Interstate Highway System would connect an entire continent with convenient and economical travel by car and truck. The success of the post-war economy was creating the need for faster air travel. Vacation and leisure time were becoming an expected part of everyday life. Hotels, motels, clubs and vacation resorts were built to take advantage of the explosion in travel and leisure. All of these homes, apartments, hotels, motels, clubs and resorts needed outdoor furniture for the lawn, garden, patio and pool. The Tropitone Furniture Company and the Tropitone ® brand were born in 1954 when Mr. Burt M. Baker bought the Sarasota Redwood Furniture Company and switched from redwood to aluminum for the frames of his outdoor patio furniture. The Tropitone Furniture Company was originally established to serve the commercial market for outdoor patio furniture that included hotels, motels, clubs and resorts. Tropitone ® brand outdoor patio furniture could soon be found around the lawns, gardens, patios and pools of commercial properties around the country. Tropitone eventually decided to fill consumer demand by offering commercial-performance outdoor patio furniture at retail. The Tropitone ® brand of outdoor patio furniture changed the performance standards of an entire industry by applying the rigorous product and service requirements of the highly - demanding commercial outdoor furniture market to the residential market.
