Object of Desire: The Sling Armchair by Garza Marfa – Gardenista

[ad_1]

I have a fondness for inexpensive portable lawn chairs, the kind with aluminum frames and colorful webbing. Garza Marfa‘s Sling Armchair, at $1,500, is neither cheap nor foldable, but it shares with the classic backyard staple the same mid-century sensibility and no-nonsense stylishness.

The Sling Armchair features a waxed canvas sling seat, Texas pecan armrests, beaded lacing on the back, and a steel base, which, like many of Garza Marfa’s furniture designs, is available in a range of colors.

Above: The chairs are sold at both Garza Marfa (for $1,525) and Heath (for $1,500), which started carrying their furniture in 2012. Heath offers the chair in three color combinations (all pictured here); for more options, head to the Garza Marfa site, where you can select from a rainbow’s worth of base colors.
