The level of quality and sophistication of these patio lounge pieces is clear in the cleanly fabricated, corrosion-resistant aluminum frames and innovative textilene seats. The coolest yet is the the chunky yet lightweight forms of Philippe Starck’s Bubble Club Sofa and Armchair that recall classic Chesterfield styling in colorful, weatherproof, UV resistent, roto-molded polypropylene. ........In addition to these cutting edge collections, DWR offers many versions of European inexpensive cafe seating that looks just as good indoors as out. In the Emeco Naval Side Chair, there is beauty in strength. Like many of the designs from the 1940s, the Emeco Naval Barstool has its origins in the military's demand for lightweight, corrosion-resistant equipment. To satisfy the U.S. Navy's rigorous specifications, chairs and stools were produced that could stand up to the toughest use-both indoors and out. Still going strong, its appeal has proved as durable as its weather-resistant anodized surface. The gently curved seat provides unexpected comfort. Featured on HBO's "Sex and the City".
