Patio Furniture Hunting


My place has a corner patio where it has just enough space to put some outdoor furniture. This image was taken when my home was on the market and was used as a model. The two chairs you see here are Modernica’s case study #22 chairs. As much as I love these chairs, I decided to do a little patio furniture hunting to see some options. Here is what I came across…


Option 1) Hoop Chair
Top: A classic case study mid-century piece, these hoop chairs have withstood the test of time. Available for custom colors and sizes at plain Air.
Bottom:  White Salterini hoop patio chairs are from etsy.

Option 2) Solair Chair
The Solair was designed in 1972 by Fabio Fabiano and Michelange Panzini, a pair of Montreal based architects. They are available at OK store in LA.

Option 3) Acapulco Chair or Egg Chair
This lounging chair is a South American Classic and sometimes referred to as an Acapulco chair. In the 1950s, when the chair first went into production, Acapulco was the Hollywood hot spot. (via oficinakreativa)

Option 4) Clam Chair
Another Salterini’s clam chair or orange sliced chair. The original vintage one is quite pricy but pottedstore has been reproducing them with three color choices.


Option 5) Diamond Chair
One of the most iconic mid century chair, a product of genius designer Harry Bertoia’s diamond chair will be versatile for both indoor and outdoor.

Sneak Peek: My New Home

It has been more than one month since I’ve moved in and I’m finally slowly settling in. Here are some areas that I am happy with so far. The one on the top is my dining area. I’m trying to add a pendant lamp above the table, but I’m feeling the overall color layout.

My dream bookshelf, George Nelson CSS is finally installed on my wall!!! I could only get two columns but I am really content with this whole unit and got it in great condition. I had a tough time installing it since my ceiling was too high for the unit but I wil share the details next time.

Acapulco Chair

Acapulco chairs are a modern classic that originated in Mexico during the 1950s. They are inspired by Mayan weaving technique. Each chair are individually hand crafted. You can see the process below.

They have a wide range of color choices where you can combine not just two colors but also three colors!
