Our Story

Originating as Royal Patio Manufacturing, President and owner David Peace re-strapped furniture for hotels and condominiums on the west coast of Florida. In 1991, he was able to move the business from his backyard to a 12’ x 24’ storage unit located in Bradenton, FL, where his manufacturing equipment grew to include a diacro hand bender, a chop saw, a drill press, and a welder. David was still the company's only employee.

As the business and reputation progressed, David began manufacturing raw frames and component parts for other manufacturers and refinishers throughout Florida. Five years later, and a few factory moves across town, Peace purchased a small powder coating system and began selling powder coated frames. The company’s payroll increased to include about twenty employees and the business expanded to manufacturing complete strap furniture, earning the company a strong reputation for providing quality commercial grade furniture.

In 1997, The Windward Design Group was born as a sister company to Royal Patio. That first year, Windward developed the first sling style dining chair and began selling them to retailers across Florida. The Factory soon grew to include a sewing room, allowing the expansion of the furniture line to include cushion-style seating.

By 2002, Windward was manufacturing eighteen different collections of furniture, including deep seating, cushion dining, sling and strap style. In 2006, the line increased to include padded sling. A couple of years later, Windward launched the Replacement Cushion Division. Now Windward product offerings include eleven wicker collections and thirteen marine grade polymer collections.
