Small space, meet the club chair

Tuesday, I gathered a collection of bistro sets that would be excellent choices for any sun deck or small patio space.  Maybe you're thinking "Gee, those sets were all really awesome but I don't really want to go with the traditional bistro set."

I completely understand this sentiment.  Sometimes, a comfortable chair and a glass of wine is the answer to all that seems wrong in the world.  Lets pull up some chair styles and see what catches your fancy.

Joel Escalona has designed a ...to die die die for... collection for GRUPO HEWI  V.

Look at how absolutely fabulous are these pieces!  The colours sing the designs and are extremely edgy and fun.  Joel Escalona is an award winning designer who creates everything from jewelry to furniture and all with exceptional detail and spectacular style. 

Fabricated out of soft synthetic fibers with a sturdy metal frame, the fibers are UV resistant and are designed for the elements.  Salt, sand and pool water will not deter The V collection.  It's good to know the fibers are also non-toxic and 100% recyclable as is the metal frame.





For a more traditional look, Richard Frinier has designed some of the most influential furniture in modern times. His designs have stood the test of time - setting himself apart and influencing the direction of outdoor furniture. Richard Frinier, in partnership with Century Furniture, offers  Archipelago and Andalusia, along with several other amazing collections.  All these collections are timeless treasures and the attention to detail is impeccable. 






Henry Hall of San Francisco takes designing furniture to a new level.  Timeless, classic pieces crafted with the best materials to ensure longevity.  With a strong commitment to the environment and the community that manufactures all his collections, he has created memorable but classic designs for a modern world.



The Coast Collection is woven out of  Coaxxs® ( synthetic fiber which is then hand-woven over an aluminum frame.  The weaving is so precise that a chaise lounge takes up to five days to create.)









Or my absolute favorite Henry Hall collection: Mariposa - a design for Henry Hall  by Ted Boerner   .

The curves are sensuous and deliberate, inventive and so exquisite.

Henry Hall Designs is committed only to using teak harvested from a sustainable source.  In the construction of the products, each part of the tree is used.  Even small wood pieces are cut into dowels for joinery pieces.






Now that you have a few choices for deep seating lounge chairs, consider two important details before you purchase you're furniture.



Size matters: Ensure you purchase furniture that will fit proportionally with the deck space.  Pretty is not pretty when you try and cram a large piece of furniture into a space too small.

Love what you buy: If you're, most likely, going to be looking at the back of the chair, ensure the aesthetic is pleasing to you're eye even from behind.
