Wave Hill Chair


Anyone who has visited Wave Hill , a public garden in the Bronx, can't help but notice the lawn chairs that grace the grounds.  Last year, Wave Hill decided to make them public. The Wave Hill Chair , offered through the shop at Wave Hill , is based on a chair designed by the Dutch architect Gerrit Rietveld in 1918 and now part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art. I was first introduced to the chair in the Country Living's April 2010 issue. It is a welcomed alternative to the standard adirondack chair. I adore it, want it and will have it several someday!  The best thing about it is that there are Wave Hill Chair plans available;  Kevin are you reading this?
The chair is handcrafted of solid pine and comes fully assembled and ready to ship for $125.  I like the bold colors.  I don't know how well pine holds up as a weather friendly wood?  If we were to make these, I might consider teak or cedar.
I also noticed that there are some modern alternatives to the adirondack out there.

  1. I know nothing about building furniture, but with the straight lines of the chair, I'm guessing that anyone with a little experience would be able to tackle that project fairly easily. I could see those chairs in any number of colors too.

  2. That is so cool! I love a piece of furniture with a story behind it, and $125 is incredibly reasonable! A hip alternative to the Adirondack, I love it!

    quick question which I'd like to ask if you do not mind. I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear your head prior to writing. I've had a difficult time clearing my
    mind in getting my thoughts out there. I truly do take pleasure in writing however it
    just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are generally wasted just trying to figure out how to begin.

    Any recommendations or hints? Thank you!
