10 Easy Pieces: Indoor/Outdoor Canvas Lounge Chairs

October 14, 2026

While we appreciate the enduring quality of a leather sling lounge chair, there are some settings, and some seasons, which call for lighter materials. Enter the canvas lounge chair: softer, lighter (in feel and appearance), and a non-animal-derived alternative. Here are our favorites, all of which would also be at home in any covered outdoor space.

Ferm Living&#8\2\17;s Desert Lounge Chair, shown in Cashmere Cloud, is \$5\15.

Kaare Klint was inspired by British campaign furniture when he designed the Safari Chair in \1933. It&#8\2\17;s now produced through Carl Hansen & Son and available starting at \$\2,090 in natural canvas through Hive Modern.

Julie likes the Paulistano Canvas Chair, which she sourced from the Design Within Reach outlet in Brooklyn (see the chair in the bedroom of her Brooklyn flat in the featured image at the top of this post). Designed by Paulo Mendes da Rocha in \1957, the Paulistano is featured in the MoMA design collection. The chair is £\1,\1\27.50 at TwentyTwentyOne.
