Boldy colored outdoor furniture

I found these pieces recently and found them to be beautifully colored. Most outdoor furniture i encounter does not have the cohesive strength to make a whole collection. Rather, most outdoor furniture that you might find in this category are a motley collection of dissimilar objects. I applaud the consistency.

weltevree wheelbarrow bench

Weltevree Modular Spiral Staircase

Axe handle chair

“Weltevree is a Dutch product label. Weltevree develops and produces authentic products for the living environment. Appliances that satisfy our primary desires: distinctive, original and of excellent quality. Weltevree was born out of the need to make these products accessible to all.”

That’s their hook. My hook is yet another masterful design studio with a strong grasp of the mashup. Included are two mashups: one a wheelbarrow with a bench, one axe handles with a side chair. Both products are expertly made, but my affinity is for the wheelbarrow bench simply for its ease of use. I sometimes have outdoor parties where furniture is always being moved. This piece, of course will save my back… elegantly.

I’ve also included an image of a modular stair system that is so simple that I want to install one in my own house even though I don’t have a second floor. The beauty of this design is its flexible system. You can get a stair to work for any space, and you don’t have to woory about a perfect fit because the adjustable legs will always get the fit perfect. I will say that in the U.S. don’t let building inspectors see you install this thing. Otherwise, go for it.

Blu Dot Real Good Chair - Black

Blu Dot Real Good Chair - Black

When we were in elementary school we were obsessed with origami. If we weren’t making a cootie-catcher we were busy trying to figure out how to make an origami ball that once correctly folded, inflated when you blew in the top. The very best thing about origami, in our humble opinion, was the paper. The perfectly square bright colored hues begged to be formed into something magnificent. And that’s why we can’t stop looking at Blu Dot’s Real Good Chair. Creased and bent to perfection the Real Good Chair is available in 4 vibrant colors. Although you might drool over it for the first few days you’ll eventually fold yourself right into this sturdy chair. No instructions necessary. Mr. Squirrel Assembles a Real Good Chair

Blu Dot Blur Lounge Chair

Blu Dot Blur Lounge Chair

Unlike birds humans can’t fly. Without the help of a trapeze our feet are usually planted firmly on the ground. (Okay, sure there IS swimming). And while this isn’t an especially new realization, have you ever thought about how nice it is when you get your feet up? Yeah, it’s great. If leisure is on the menu the Blu Dot Blur Lounge Chair and Ottoman will fit the bill. Choose from walnut veneer with a gray powder-coated frame, or graphite-on-oak finish with a dark and rich satin black frame.

Blu Dot Buttercup Chair

Blu Dot Buttercup Chair

“Upholstery is not our realm,” says Blu Dot designer John Christakos of the molded-plywood Buttercup lounge chair.  Is it yours?  Consider this: the Buttercup’s cut-out seat is bucket-shaped to cup the fat of your back.  Let the bent ply of the Buttercup cradle you in a wonderful, swiveling recline, and you too can kick the upholstery habit.
