A comfortable rattan chair on a patio, deck, or balcony has a lot of power to sway you. Give into it.
Architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe understood the attraction of well-designed chair, “A chair is a very difficult object. A skyscraper is almost easier. That is why Chippendale is famous.”
Things to do in a rattan armchair: Put your feet up. Close your eyes. Feel the breeze on your face. Here are 10 of our favorite rattan armchairs—many designed to do double duty at an outdoor dining table—to get you started:
Above: A Sunwashed Riviera Armchair available in four colors (including Natural as shown) is $358 at Serena & Lily.

Above: Made of rattan, a Bagatelle Armchair “is a tribute to belle époque—the beautiful era—that took place in the last century, during which gardens, parks, and cafes are adorned by furniture in the same design language as these beautiful armchairs,” notes retailer Artilleriet. It is 2,550 SEK (about $275 US).
