The Igloo Chair may not help you beat the heat but it will sure help you to chill and enjoy the outdoors. Retailing on the CB2 website for just $149.00, the retro styled chair seeks design inspiration from a satellite dish and that why we love it so much. The handwoven heavy-gauge white wire and the rust-resistant powdercoat finish ensures that it weathers all the storms.

If you have not heard of Dandelime Furniture you likely soon will in blogs and magazines. I recently spoke with their marketing director and got a chance to see their line of products. I like their modern approach to design departing away from the norms of wicker and woven outdoor furniture and the way they use metal, stone and other substances. Don't get me wrong, I am a fan of those types of materials, but it is nice to see some different approaches. Interesting products include the feather lounger aptly shaped like a feather and the porthole bench feature a pipe-like appearance combined with seating. Learn more about their products here.

Now that summers are here, nothing should stop you from having outdoor soirees with friends and family. So stack up on the beers, rev up the BBQ grill and invest in some great outdoor seating. Personally I really liked the Zuo Modern Tulum Loveseat which has been shaped like Aztec pyramids and hence makes quite a dramatic style statement. You can order it from the Furniture Crate website in either an armchair configuration or a loveseat. Made from UV resistant synthetic fibre, the seating unit also includes water resistant covers and foam.
