|We only have a few warm months in Wisconsin and its best to make the most of them while they’re here. We are already half way through our warm weather period this year, so if you haven’t spent time making your outdoor space comfortable and fun yet, now is the time! Of course, it is most fun to relax outdoors in style.There are a few outdoor furniture items that I find to be particularly cool and comfortable.
The Coco Chair by Loll mimics the classic design of the Eames Lounge Plywood chairs, but it’s got a fun and unique spin to it. Not to mention, it’s extremely comfortable to sit in.One of the things I love the most about Loll furniture is the fun selection of colors to choose from.And it certainly doesn’t hurt that all of their products are made out of recycled plastic, such as milk jugs and margarine tubs.This furniture is also made nearby in Minnesota.
On the opposite side of the spectrum is the Ballare Chair by Skagerak of Denmark. This solid teak chair is comfortable and timeless. Its good looks also make it a worthy chair for indoor seating, whether its at the dining table or in the living room. Many other teak pieces are available from Skagerak, including benches and tables. This set of Ballare chairs are shown with the Ballare table. The set creates a gorgeous solid teak dining set that works both indoors and outdoors.
The newest addition to our outdoor collection is the Italian Phantom Chair by Domitalia. I don’t even have to say much about this chair – it speaks for itself.I love that it manages to be fun, simple and slightly formal all at the same time. It is also available as a loveseat, in colors and with a lit option that makes the chair glow!
