While outdoor furniture has undergone its fair share of aesthetic transformations over the last century — from natural wicker to synthetic resin, Adirondack chairs to sleek lounges, curlicued wrought iron to ribbed aluminum — it has almost always looked, in the end, like it was purpose-built for the great outdoors. In many ways, this was a function of practicality, as it's incredibly difficult to build a piece of furniture that can actually withstand the elements, from ongoing dirt accumulation to full-on inclement conditions (which, if you have a sprinkler system, is pretty much every morning around 4AM). But something began to happen in the last decade or so, accelerated by the pandemic into a full-fledged trend: Brands began to treat outdoor furniture as simply interior pieces with different materiality, reimagining some of their most iconic works for outdoor use. When we heard that one of our favorite brands, Ellison Studios, was launching a capsule collection of some of their most beloved designs in outdoor-friendly fabrics and materials, we realized it was time to round up some of our favorites in the game.
