Medici Outdoor Chair

While there's certainly nothing wrong with the classic Adirondack chair — they look great, and are perfect for wasting away a summer afternoon — the style is a bit commonplace. The Medici Outdoor Chair ($1,200) takes a new look at the familiar design, coming up with something original and exciting. The chair is somewhat reclined, and slung low, much like its inspiration, but has a more modern, pared-down aesthetic. Its ash wood is heat-treated and hand-oiled, so it's sure to look great for years, no matter what the elements throw at it.
