100 Posh Patio Furniture Finds

From Contemporary Shoehorn Loungers to Outdoor Patio Pods

— January 9, 2013 — Eco
Outdoor space is great for entertaining guests when the weather is warm, so outfit your natural space with these posh patio furniture finds that will excite and delight your senses. Patio furniture has come a long way from the drab, plastic pieces it used to be associated with and many companies have taken notice by creating contemporary and striking designs.

A number of the designs you'll find within this collection are great for lounging, but there are a handful of others that are dual-purpose with seating on one side and a space for shrubbery on the other. Moreover, there are a plethora of hybrid designs that can be shifted and shaped into the particular furniture that is required, which might include additional seats for guests or even a tabletop for eating.
