The prospect of retirement doesn’t just signal the end of a career; it offers the chance to recalibrate and re-prioritize in life.
6 Modern Lounge Chairs We Love
June 16, 2015
Spend summer days relaxing in the Dwell Store's collection of lounge chairs, including finely crafted Scandinavian teak loungers, a bright white lounge chair from French company Fermob, and more. Be sure to check out the rest of the Dwell Store’s outdoor furniture collection to create a complete oasis for outdoor living.
From Skargaarden, the Nozib Teak Lounger has a design that is both sleek and airy, and is constructed with 88 meticulously placed teak pieces. The sturdy chair includes a water-resistant leather cushion that can be adjusted for height or removed. The chair can be folded when not in use, and the rich teak color can be maintained with annual oiling, or left alone to create a silvery grey patina over time.
The Alizé Sunlounger XS from Fermob combines a traditional design with functional advances. The fabric of the lounger is an outdoor technical fabric, making it extremely durable and resistant to weather damage. The canvas is also comfortable to the touch, so the Alizé can be used without a cushion or covering. The gently curved frame and bed add a sense of lightness to the Alizé, making this design from Fermob a refreshing option for outdoor spaces.
The Häringe Lounge Armchair from Skaargarden is crafted in teak and features a black powder-coated steel frame and natural grey cushions. Covered in a durable sunbrella fabric, the cushions are designed for use outdoors, making the armchair an excellent choice for a patio or deck.
The OGK Lounge Chair was designed in 1962 by Danish architect Ole Gjerløv-Knudsen. The chair is comprised of sustainably harvested beech, which is met with natural jute slip that makes up the seat and chair back. Originally designed for Gjerløv-Knudsen’s son’s camping trip, the chair is designed with portability and easy assembly in mind.
Bend designed its Farmhouse Lounger to be as sturdy as a piece of farm machinery, but easy to relax in after a long day. The lounge chair blends traditional elements—the backrest is inspired by old Amish barn architecture—along with modern geometric shapes. The lounge chair is crafted in galvanized iron that is hot-dipped and powder-coated, which makes the chair an excellent seating option for both indoor and outdoor spaces.
When it has “easy” in the name, you know it’s going to be a comfortable chair. The H55 Easy Chair is crafted in teak, fabric, and stainless steel. The chair features an adjustable frame that can be raised or lowered to create your desired level of lounging.
From Skargaarden, the Nozib Teak Lounger has a design that is both sleek and airy, and is constructed with 88 meticulously placed teak pieces. The sturdy chair includes a water-resistant leather cushion that can be adjusted for height or removed. The chair can be folded when not in use, and the rich teak color can be maintained with annual oiling, or left alone to create a silvery grey patina over time.
