Outside. Inspired.

From the very beginning, Maglin has been about connection—between people and places, vision and execution, bold ideas and lasting materials.
More than 40 years ago, Ian McAskile began crafting benches in his driveway, inspired to build lasting outdoor site furniture that could connect people to place. Naming his new venture after his daughters, Maggie and Lindsay, he created a portmanteau that stuck: Maglin.

Where we are now

Today, Maglin is thriving, collaborating with designers, specifiers, and contractors who share our passion for shaping meaningful outdoor spaces.

We’re agile, responsive, and genuinely fun to work with. We take pride in solving challenges quickly and building relationships that last decades.

Our products are durable, beautiful, and thoughtfully designed to enhance the spaces where people gather, connect, and recharge.

Interactions matter.

Our culture is shaped by the energy and collaboration of our team; the people who inspire each other to create, solve, and build better every day. 

We’re also shaped by our clients: landscape architects, designers, contractors, and developers who bring ideas, challenges, and bold visions to the table. 

And ultimately, we’re inspired by the people who use our products: commuters locking up bikes, kids climbing over modular seating, strangers becoming neighbors on a bench.

We take responsibility.

For the places we live, and the places our products live.
For designing with durability and beauty.
For doing the work, not just talking the talk.

We believe in transparency over greenwashing, offering Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) and material clarity so our customers can make informed, impact-driven decisions.

Our People


We’re designers, makers, planners, doers, and dog lovers. We work hard, solve fast, and show up with curiosity, collaboration, and a sense of humor.

Whether we’re prototyping a custom solution or guiding a project from concept to install, we bring heart to the process and precision to the outcome.

Because we believe being excellent at what we do isn’t enough. We also want to be excellent to work with.
