The Deneb Diamond Kite from Haptic Lab is the ideal companion to a lazy afternoon in the park. The boldly patterned kite features fabrics that are screen-printed by hand in Brooklyn, and later cut and assembled in Williamsport, PA. Due to the handmade nature of the kites, each Deneb is slightly different from the next, making it a one-of-a-kind piece. The kite includes Haptic Lab’s signature ten-foot-long patchwork kite tail, and also includes basic kite twine and flying instructions.

From Danish company Skargaarden, the Häringe Lounge Armchair 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 chair can be oiled once a year to retain the rich teak color, or left alone to develop a silvery grey patina over time.

Crafted from olde growth pine salvaged from antique flooring from a 19th century home, the Reclaimed Wood Tree Swing from Peg and Awl adds a vintage, charming look to a backyard or garden, and works best when hung from a large tree branch. The thick slab of wood is finished with hand-rubbed natural tung oil, which makes the seat water resistant and durable.

Celebrated architect Frank Gehry designed an innovative furniture collection for Heller in 2004. The collection, including this easy chair, is characterized by its striking resemblance to sculpture. Although the pieces are suited for daily use, they also look quite lovely on their own—the sleek surfaces, coupled with the gentle curves and flowing lines, allow the collection to be admired for its beauty, as much as it is utilized for function.

With its intricate Farmhouse Lounger, Bend Design sought to design a piece that was as sturdy as a piece of farm machinery, but equally easy to relax in after a long day. The backrest was inspired by old Amish barn architecture, which is then blended with modern geometric shapes. The chair can be used indoors and out, and is comfortable enough to use without a cushion.
