With such a LONG winter, I anticipate spending a lot of time outside this summer. I’ve been thinking about how to design our back yard and patio and saw these modern patio chairs on Design*Sponge. Designed by Todd Fillingham in Milwaukee, these modern patio chairs are made of solid walnut, northern white cedar and stainless steel. Each chair weights 10 pounds and both the wood and steel are rot and water resistant (though Wisconsin winters are a bit too rough on outdoor furniture to leave out year-round). I’m adding these to my wish list.
