Did you ever wonder where 'lawn' furniture originated' In the 1800s as people began to enjoy their gardens and patios, furniture was set outside, but had to be brought in during inclement weather. The answer of course, would be furniture made for the outdoors.The Best Accessory for Your Cozy Patio - the Patio Furniture Cushion

And that's what Thomas Lee came up with in 1903, while vacationing with his family in 1903, at Westport, New York. He wanted something comfortable, and suited to the sloping grounds of his cottage. So he went to work with a saw, and a single plank of wood, cutting out only eleven pieces that he assembled into what is now known as the Adirondack chair.
This basic, flat slat chair, usually with a fan shaped back, also tilted slightly in its positioning, to make it suitable to the uneven ground where Lee's family spent the summer.
Intrigued by the outcome, and needing a source of winter income, his friend Harry Bunnell patented the chair, and began turning them out in his workshop during the cold months, to sell to the summer population. His creations were all made of hemlock, then painted in dark greens or browns, and signed.

The hallmark of the Adirondack chair, is its wide, flat armrests, supremely comfortable in the many forms of outdoor furniture that are now included as part of the Adirondack style. With the solid wood construction, and adequate coating to protect it against the rain and sun, these bits of Americana will last for years.
Today, the chairs come in a wide variety of colors, and have expanded into love seats, gliders, and other forms of outdoor furniture that are still clearly recognizable by their slat construction, and the standard armrests.
You can choose chairs by color to suit the predominant color in a garden. For example, if you're growing herbs, many of which flower in blues and purples, there are violet Adirondack chairs. Perhaps you'd rather have the chairs to match your house trim, in which case there are red, yellow, indigo, and orange models. And of course, you can still get the 'original' green chair.
