The Best Outdoor Furniture to Enjoy in Summer 2023

Looking for the best outdoor furniture? You’re Not Alone – Searches for this category have increased significantly over the past three years, as the pandemic spurs renewed interest in updating our backyards, patios, balconies and lawns. The frantic interest shows no sign of stopping: “As we continue to spend more time entertaining outdoors, outdoor furniture will become more refined and sophisticated, and our patios will become a true extension of our interiors,” Timothy Corrigan at Fashion 745 Interior Design Trends Report.

Indeed, many backyards have been taking on an enchanting splendor lately. Last year, Louis Vuitton recently launched their own line of outdoor furniture, and Loro Piana is now making their all-weather fabrics easier than ever to order. At the same time, Gubi continues to launch a variety of high-design exterior objects. Last February, the Danish design house revived the rare, sunny creations of sought-after Milanese designer Gabriella Crespi, and this year, they’re introducing Mathieu Matégot’s lamps.

But where to start and when to shop for the perfect piece? Let’s start with the basics: a place to sit. Portable and lightweight open back chairs are perfect for those who need something simple. Looking for a longer-lasting investment? You can’t go wrong with a classic Adirondack or a super soft upholstered lounge chair.

No summer night is complete without al fresco dining, but you need the right dining room setup to make it happen. For urbanites, a bistro set is a chic and space-conscious option – while you’re there, order some pops of color as it stands out against the concrete. If you have a sprawling lawn or yard and love to entertain, invest in a full dining table (afterwards, invite me over for a cocktail or two) and throw an outdoor rug to tie the whole setting together. And don’t forget the accessories: handcrafted planters, a round fire pit, and a handsome inflatable pool. (Yes, really.)
