Since 1880, our entrepreneurial activities have been guided by a strong sense of social, economic, and environmental responsibility. We create products that last – with passion, deep expertise and in collaboration with selected partners. We remain true to our path – and take the next step with Cycle 2.

Development
For almost 150 years, we have championed the values of durability. Our open design culture, our in-house development team’s expertise and our high manufacturing standards attract leading Swiss architects and designers to Glarus.

Local raw materials
The high-quality material used to make our furniture has always been wood from the Jura Mountains – a local, renewable raw material with short transport distances. We source almost all our materials from Switzerland.

Renewable energy
A solar panel system and a heating system fed with waste timber supply our factory with renewable energy.

Production
Cutting, bending, sanding, joining, finishing: from the very beginning, we ensure that the high-quality materials are processed appropriately and that our tables and chairs are expertly finished and executed to the highest standards. We achieve this through the symbiosis of specialised, experienced craftsmanship and state-of-the-art CNC-controlled precision technology.

Warranty
The five-year warranty with which all our products leave production can be extended to ten years by registering the newly purchased furniture. This option applies to all chairs and tables manufactured from 2025 onwards.

Repairs
Minor or major damage to a piece of furniture can be repaired at any time in our manufactory, entirely in agreement with and according to the owner’s wishes.

Buyback
If an owner is no longer using a piece of Horgenglarus furniture, a buy-back offer can be requested. A generational passport must have been previously registered for the product.

Refurbishing
If the buy-back offer and appraisal are accepted, the piece of furniture is returned to its place of manufacture in Glarus, where we expertly refurbish it. 

Warranty
A new warranty of five years on the refurbished piece provides an extra guarantee.

Usage
The newly refurbished furniture is available through selected distribution partners.

With Cycle 2, we are establishing a generational market for our tables and chairs. This allows us to give our original pieces – once renovated – not just one, but multiple lifecycles of use via authorized specialist retailers. It marks another important step toward a truly circular economy.
