Contemporary Styling – The Weatherly Collection
To begin with a more familiar look, contemporary styles often feature straight lines and clean, right angles in the frames. As an example, consider Highwood’s Weatherly Collection. This design family features horizontal boards on the chair backs that provide a simple, yet sophisticated feel.
The Weatherly Collection also represents a wide range of furniture types, with rocking chairs, benches, conversation sets, dining sets, and more. If you like the look of this collection, we’re sure you’ll find something that will fit right in on your patio!
Modern Styling – The Italica Collection
Offering a more distinctive style, the Italica Collection features extra-wide arms and back slats, along with squared frames. A bold take on timeless classics, these modern outdoor furniture pieces will look great on a patio or balcony.
To showcase a prime example, Highwood’s Italica Modern Adirondack Chair offers a contemporary twist on a beloved classic. The squared back and longer boards blend well with today’s architecture trends, but still provide the comfort you expect from Highwood furniture.
In addition to the Adirondack chair, the Italica Collection also includes a Double Wide Adirondack Chair, Coffee Table, Side Table, and a unique Ottoman to match the seating! We also offer combined Italica sets for instant relaxation spaces on a porch or patio.
New From Our Sister Brand – The Corolla Comfort Height Adirondack Chair
Do you ever find it tough to stand back up after spending time relaxing in your Adirondack chair? To help with this issue, our sister brand, Bahia Verde Outdoors, has created Comfort Height Adirondack Chairs with taller seats, making things easier on the body.
The Corolla Comfort Height Adirondack Chair takes the taller seat design and combines it with modern flair. The result? A unique look taking inspiration from your favorite beachside escapes!
Modern Bar and Balcony Sets – The Monroe Collection
Last, but certainly not least, if you’re in the market for modern-styled balcony sets, look to our Monroe sets! Available in either a 3-piece or 6-piece set, these kits provide both balcony tables and stools in counter-height. In terms of style, the pieces feature right angles and clean, squared-off frames.
If you want to change up the seating for your patio dining area, check out all our seating options! Our newly released Summit Bar Stool sports a square, contoured top for extra comfy seating, and the Birch Bar Stool features a more traditional, round top.
If you prefer regular bar height chairs over stools, our Weatherly Bar Height Armchair offers the same contemporary style we covered earlier, while our Hamilton Bar Height Chair features Adirondack style and comfort.
Whichever seating options you choose, they will match seamlessly with our 24-inch or 30-inch round bar height bistro tables!
