The rocker is both collapsible and stackable, so get a few for your favorite people!

Is it just me, or does this seem like one heck of a deal? Finding outdoor loungers that are comfortable on the backside and easy on the eyes can be a daunting task for someone that appreciates a pared-down approach, so seeing a less-than-$400 option is a nice surprise. This lounger is made from sustainably sourced wood and features Textilene® fabric for extra breathability. Plus, it’s on sale, which makes the deal even sweeter (and 25% off for a limited time with code provided on site).

Whaat? Eric Trine and Ellen Van Dusen paired up to make an outdoor collection and no one told me about it!? Well, at least we’re finding out just in time. The light jade metal with cushions in Dusen’s squiggly Dash print may be just what your patio needs to freshen up for the summer. Maybe add a lounge chair or sofa to your outdoor area for extra seating? While you’re at it, add a coffee or side table to make it a set.

Maybe you didn’t know that the Sculptura Collection was first conceived in 1956, or, if you did, maybe you didn’t know that it’s back in production, and available from DWR. Molded iron wire mesh creates a comfortable, sculptured seat suitable for indoors and out. Like many other mid century designs, it’s a classic choice that won’t ever go out of style, so you’re safe to get a few pieces knowing they’ll continue to stand up to the test of time. Available in white, black, or red, with or without a seat cushion.

Maybe you’ve heard about Target teaming up with Dwell Magazine? Well, take a look at all the offerings if you haven’t already- there are quite a few gems worth snapping up. I have my eyes on the steel Posture Chair for my deck area, as its slim legs are barely visible, and won’t be blocking any views. If you’ve got the room, add the Outdoor Sofa and the Coffee Table to complete the set.

Let’s take a look at the Milà Chair by Jaime Hayòn for Magis. It’s a little less severe than some of our other favorite chairs, but it has a sculpted, playful quality that reminds us a little of Gaudí’s creations (i.e. Catalan Modernism). The organic shape is achieved thanks to a a gas-assisted injection moulding technique, which makes the Milà easier to produce and therefore very affordable. Keep a set outside or indoors; they’re stackable too.

It’s rare that outdoor furniture is described as exciting, mostly because it’s meant for outdoors and not many of us have the time and money to spend on amazing furnishings that will only get rained on. Such is the state of things. However, the Paulistano’s canvas cover means it can go outside and be its comfortable pleasing-to-the-eye self, thus saving us from the unfortunate cry of ‘there’s no decent outdoor furniture!’ (If you’re not familiar, the Paulistano is a 1957 classic originally designed for the Paulistano Athletic Club in São Paulo, Brazil.)

Might this be the nicest deck chair ever to pass before our eyes? Designed by Björn Hultén in 1954 and first used by Swedish king Gustav VI Adolf, it certainly has a veritable pedigree, if you care about that sort of thing. An adjustable head cushion and four different seat tilt options ensures comfort, as it should for the price. Folds flat for storage or transport. Available in Black, Oatmeal, and White.

All right, now, we’re in outdoor furniture shopping mode, thanks to the summer heat. If the Hot Mesh Lounge featured yesterday didn’t quite hit the spot, maybe you’ll like the Palissade Lounge Chair by Ronan + Erwan Bouroullec. Why? It’d be easier to ask why not, because then we could agree on your ignorance or lack of design sense* and then our conversation would be over.

Ooo, the Hot Mesh collection just got a new sibling: a lounge chair. You know what’s great about that? It not only looks modern and unfussy, it’s very affordable. I mean, come on, $299 for a cool lounge chair? It’s a no-brainer. Oh, and it’s stackable and suitable for indoor or outdoor use. If we had a little celebratory ‘great deal!’ ribbon jpg to add to certain images, I’d add it without a second thought.

With all this talk of enjoying the outdoors, we might as well discuss the seating arrangements. After all, you can only spend so much time on a picnic blanket before your back gets tired. Hopefully, if you have an outdoor area attached to your home, you have some sort of comfortable seating already, but, if not, you might want to take a look at Massproductions’ indoor-outdoor Tio Easy Chair. It’s stackable and and will withstand all sorts of weather as it’s made with polyester powder-coated galvanized wire. That said, no one will question it if you move it indoors, as it could stand proud as a sculptural seating option inside the home just as well as it would outside.

It seems like outdoor furniture is either really nice and super expensive or pretty cheap and not great quality. The Penelope Lounge Chair seems to fit comfortably in between those two extremes, as it is made from a powder-coated steel frame with handwoven waterproof plastic as its seat and back. Hairpin legs and a wide seat add modern styling to the otherwise minimal design. It’s stackable, too.

Are you itching to get your outdoor space set up for the summer? If so, take a look at the Ixtapa Loveseat currently on sale for $319.

Handwoven white PVC cord over a black powder-coated steel frame makes it outdoor friendly, and it will work with whatever color scheme you already have planned.
