10 Easy Pieces: The Acapulco Chair

August 31, 2017

Having a moment: the Acapulco chair. The symbol of laid-back, midcentury resort style looks as comfortable today as in the 1950s when (legend has it) a French traveler borrowed from the design of a woven Mayan rope hammock to make an open-air lounger to capture the Acapulco breezes.

The iconic style harkens to an earlier era of celebrity chic–when Liz Taylor married Mike Todd in Acapulco, Rock Hudson caught a monster fish while honeymooning, and Orson Welles stepped ashore from a private yacht.

The chair’s simple, geometric lines make it an easy fit with other outdoor furniture styles. Available these days with choice of a classic bowl seat, an updated barrel back, or an elongated egg shape, the Acapulco chair is on our list of summer must-haves.

Here are 10 of our favorite Acapulco chairs:

An Acapulco Black Egg Outdoor Chair has a black powder coated steel tube frame and woven black PVC cord; it is \$\279 from CB\2.
