Engineer Dining Table

Whaa? $399, for real? That price more than qualifies this indoor/outdoor sawhorse table as an exceptionally affordable option for your dining needs.

Industrial takes a stand under sleek glass to dine six, indoors and out. Sawhorse supports rivet a third leg each, with almost humorous small feet in stride. Mild steel is hot-dip galvanized to a raw crystalline gunmetal grey that’s rustproof and scratch-resistant. Each piece is unique and will take on a darker look over time. Protective floor pads included.

80″Wx36″Dx29.5″H

Vegetal Chair

Vegetal, Vegetable…whatever the name, pay attention to these five things: lightweight, sturdy, stackable, indoor/outdoor appropriate, and comfortable. The price point isn’t exactly the most affordable thing, but the chair is notable nonetheless.

Nature served as the inspiration for this chair’s organic design. Its plant-like structure is made from dyed recyclable polyamide using innovative injection-mold technology. Lightweight, sturdy, and comfortable, the chairs stack up to three high and are suitable for indoor and outdoor use. Hand-wash only. Made by Vitra.

Designers: Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec, 2008
Size: 32h x 23.75w x 21.75″d

Loop Chair by Willy Guhl

I want this outdoor chair so bad I can’t see straight.

The corresponding Loop Table fits neatly inside the chair’s frame for storage.”

Dimensions: 26″H x 21.5″W x 18″D

Wheelbench

Such a smart idea (if only it was a tad more affordable…).

A mobile bench, made of ecologically preserved Accoya wood with a built-in wheelbarrow wheel. The surprising combination of familiar elements strengthens the active ‘exterior feel’ of the bench.
Rogier Martens on the Wheelbench: “Moving a bench with two people has always been a chore… This is a bench you can easily manoeuvre into position. The eye-catching wheel is an invitation to find the best spot. An invitation to be active, to create your world the way you want it, time and again.”

Designer: Rogier Martens
Dimensions: 215 x 45 x 70 cm

Bardolino Lounge Chair

With credentials to show weather-worthiness, this lounge chair would be an excellent candidate for being an indoor/outdoor chair (as in, would look just fine as an indoor chair until the weather’s nice, then pull it outside).

The indoor/outdoor Bardolino Collection has lines that echo the forms of classic mid-century European furniture, but its materials are squarely in the new millennium…They’re made from a powder-coated aluminum frame that’s wrapped in WaProLace® – a polyethylene fiber that has been specially tested to maintain its color and resist corrosion from chlorine, salt water or other outdoor elements. Nontoxic and 100% recyclable, WaProLace is easy to maintain and can withstand temperatures from -94°f to 176°f. The Lounge Chair is distinguished by a deliberately low seat and slightly inclined back.

Zanotta Club Sofa and Armchair

So, once you get over the slight sticker shock, take a look at just how cool these outdoor/indoor pieces are…I love how simple the frame is, and how light the pieces appear.

Designed for indoor and outdoor use, the Club Sofa and Armchair are very versatile pieces of furniture. The steel internal structure has been painted so this set is suitable for outdoor use. Weave in PVC thread with nylon internal reinforcement, in the shade of brown, the Club Sofa and Armchair feature a unique design. Available with or without a seat cushion, these two items are perfect for lounging. -allmodern.com

Armchair (25.6″h x 33.07″w x 31.1″d): $2,350.00

Julep Rocker

A steal of a deal at $149.00, this rocker is surprisingly super sleek.

No, we’re not off our rockers—this price is for real. Minimalist grey-on-grey rocks back in a swoop of grey polymesh over grey rust-resistant powdercoated aluminum frame. -CB2

Element Coffee Table

Hmm, this could go indoors or out (as long as it’s protected). Not bad for a hefty looking coffee table…

Aggregate of marble, granite, stone and natural fibers cements a sculptural, floating cantilever that reminds us of Wright’s Fallingwater. Clear non-toxic wax finish protects. Maintain table’s honed beauty and natural intonations with car wax or stone floor polish. Handmade in an eco-friendly workshop powered without consumption of fossil fuels to avoid CO2 loads. Indoor and protected outdoor use.

Sunny Arm Chair

Good price on these cafe chairs…the colors are quite nice, and just in time for the spring/summer weather around the corner.

Nothin’ but white clouds…yellow sun, blue skies. Modern take on the classic café chair relaxes with lounge back, armrests and airy slat design. Restaurant-quality, rust-resistant construction in welded steel, powdercoated happy in hi-gloss yellow, white or blue. Stacks out of the way, too.

A fresh design to add interest to outdoor living, Soleil is perfect for lounging and entertaining. Constructed of steel mesh, it features a powder-coat finish for added durability.

Stackable.
