Seven outdoor furnishings to welcome the beginning of spring
Dezeen Showroom: as we emerge from the dark winter months, we've brought together a range of outdoor furnishings published on Dezeen Showroom including garden seating, dining sets and sun loungers.
The following roundup features an outdoor chair made from hand-carved chestnut wood, a modular picnic bench-style dining set and a sun lounger made out of mahogany.
Dezeen Showroom lists furniture and products for outdoor lounging and dining from a wide array of international brands, makers and manufacturers.
Panigiri dining system by Extremis
Picnic benches were the starting point for Belgian furniture brand Extremis' modular dining table system, which combines a range of seating styles.
The Panigiri dining system can be specified with integrated bench seating, which in turn can be fitted with slide-on legless seats, or space can be left for conventional chairs. Both of these seating options can be combined for additional functionality.

Dongo modular outdoor sofa by Studio Segers for Todus
Belgian design practice Studio Segers worked with furniture company Todus on the release of a modular sofa designed for use outdoors.
All elements of the Dongo modular outdoor sofa are designed to withstand the elements – from the waterproof upholstered cushions to its sturdy stainless-steel frame.
Kida armchair by Stephen Burks for Dedon
German outdoor furniture brand Dedon has designed a chair with a basket-like seat that is finished in playfully coloured fibres.
The Kida armchair was developed in close collaboration with the brand's weavers in the Philippines and is characterised by the wrapping technique that adorns its aluminium frame.
Kilt chair by Marcello Ziliani for Ethimo
Outdoor furniture design brand Ethimo has created an outdoor seat that is informed by traditional kilts worn in the Scottish Highlands.
The Kilt chair's fringe-like integrated back and armrest are supported by a slender frame available in either teak or aluminum. The rope comes in a selection of colourways.
Nisswa Lounge Swivel outdoor chair by Loll Designs
American outdoor furniture company Loll Designs integrated a swivelling mechanism into the base of this outdoor armchair.
The Nisswa Lounge Swivel features an angular stainless-steel frame softened by rounded weatherproof cushions, allowing it to be left outdoors in all weather conditions.
Stave chair by Farlam & Chandler and Bibbings & Hensby
Garden design studio Farlam & Chandler worked with British carpentry workshop Bibbings & Hensby on a low-slung garden chair made out of timber from sweet chestnut trees.
The Stave chair's seat and backrest are made from pieces of wood that all have a whittled, notched texture.
A lozenge-shaped base made from mahogany characterises this sun lounger by British brand Seora.
The Riviera sunbed has an in-built mechanism that moves the top section of the bed into an inclined position, allowing the user to either sit or recline.
