With its intricate Farmhouse Lounger, Bend 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 chair can be used indoors and out, and is comfortable enough to use without a cushion. Photo 5 of 5 in Powder-Coated Perfection: Design Spotlight on Bend by Marianne Colahan
