The rubber seat of this stool is made from recycled tires and is held in place by tension rather than hardware.

With a seat made from 100 percent, post-consumer recycled tires, the Rubber Stool re-contextualizes recycled rubber as an ergonomic and pliable material for furniture. The Rubber Stool is designed to use the properties of recycled tires instead of hardware for attaching the seat to the frame. Each stool comes ready to be assembled and adjusted according to the user’s proportions and intended use. With a powder-coated frame and a resilient rubber seat, it can be used indoors or outdoors. Seat is removable for transportation efficiency and ease of recycling.

Material: 100% recycled tire rubber, powder coated tubular steel

As usual, this chair by Urquiola is amazing.

Frame made out of aluminum polyester powder coated and high quality synthetic fiber hand weaved. Frame is made for outdoors and color can come in either white or chestnut. Numerous cushion options. Design Patricia Urquiola.

This is a steal- $50 for a very decent ‘futuristic’ side table that can go indoors or out.

This is made out of the same material that’s used in life rafts, so you’ve got some degree of comfort in knowing that it will last a bit longer than perhaps other inflatable furniture you might be familiar with…in any case, it’s a great option for outdoors (if you don’t get a lot of wind, that is).

This actually looks quite comfortable despite the delicate appearance.

These transparent models are hand woven with golden sika (lighter version) or rattan splits (darker version). The foundation is composed of powder coated iron round bars and the cushions are filled with 3 inch thick FRD foam. The cushions are removable and an outdoor version of the lounger and chair are available.

Man, at first glance it looked like it was $150 per chair (which would be way too good to be true); it takes around 5 slices to make a full-sized seat, so that makes it around $750 per chair. Darn it.

This innovative line of furniture allows you to endlessly mix and match towards a design of any color and size. Each “slice” clicks into one another and can support up to 300 pounds of weight. The material, Arpro, is lightweight and weatherproof.

Remarkably similar to the Tatu Series by Stephen Burks, this coffee table has the same look without the $550 price tag.

I’ve been looking for a small breakfast-y sized bistro table for my kitchen, and this one is a pretty good price. I think it’s a winner.

Simple but functionally sound, these Italian-made powder-coated steel tables are exceptional examples of everyday outdoor furniture. Available in three styles, their sturdy construction and multiuse design make them the choice for cafés throughout Europe and the U.S. They also work well in office dining areas. By undergoing three different finish processes – electric zinc coating, the application of a grey powder coat and then a clear lacquer – the table surfaces are made resilient and corrosion resistant. Assembly required.

Materials: Steel with three-layer finish.

Such a lovely choice for outdoor seating, though I’d opt for indoors just so I could gaze upon its beauty each and every day. Just kidding (sort of).

Using a new process that extrudes pre-galvanised metal sheet into a 3D mesh sling, Christophe Pillet and Jean-Marie Massaud’s Heaven chair combines a barely-there appearance with a sturdy structure that can be left outdoors permanently.

So, here’s a rather personal recommendation for anyone searching for some patio furniture on a small budget: I recently decided to get a couple of butterfly chairs for our patio because a) they’re inexpensive, b) they’re decent looking and c) comfortable. After spending an enjoyable evening last weekend sipping mojitos in seated comfort (knowing I didn’t spend an arm and a leg helped), I can say I’m relatively happy with my purchase*. I got the red color with the black frame (as pictured, polyester fabric on a folding steel frame.), but there are all sorts of options to choose from.

What’s more, the chairs stack by the dozen. With its cosmopolitan good looks, the Cricket brings charm to a restaurant terrace or a home patio. Cricket chairs are stackable up to 13.

These are pretty eye-catching with the angles and interior contrasting color; they’re also made from recycled plastic, so they can be indoors or out. Hurray.

$50 for the white stackable Ronde Armchair. Not bad…

The Ronde Armchair, designed by Aldo Ciabatti, is a familiar sight in cafes throughout Europe. Its rounded spoon shape is outlined in tubular steel, and two simple arches swoop gracefully to serve as both legs and armrests. Neatly welded onto the frame is flattened sheet-metal mesh, a semitransparent screen that gives the chair its light look. The highly functional, affordable chair stacks up 10 high and is easily cleaned. Made in Italy.

This tongue-in-cheek table can be used indoors or out, thanks to the polyurethane finish.

The innovative and intriguing Cloth Table is one of 20 furniture designs developed by Gerard der Kinderen in 2007 after two decades as a creative director in the communications industry. Topped with a ‘cloth’ made from a durable, flexible combination of polyether and polyurethane that is both soft to the touch and ideally suited to outdoor living, the table was selected as the Official Table for Tokyo Designers’ Week 2007.
