Lounge Love

Not only is the MBrace lounge chair by Dedon comfortable and durable, it’s just plain cool. The triaxial open-weave seat is hand-crafted in the Philippines, the cushions are available in five colorways and a variety of fabrics, and the base is made of eco-friendly teak. We’d happily sip piña coladas by the pool in this beauty. Starting at $2,820, Home Resource, 741 Central Ave., Sarasota, (941) 366-6690, homeresource.com

Swing, Swing, Swing

Settling into Serena & Lily’s outdoor hanging chair feels a little like crawling into your own nest. Inspired by a 1960s design, the frame is weather-proof and the heavy-duty rope it hangs from is highly durable and sturdy. Plus, the curved seat keeps you comfy. Add cozy blankets and fluffy pillows and escape from the world for a little while. $698, serenaandlily.com

Throwing Shade

A great umbrella is essential for any outdoor space—it protects you from the sun’s harsh rays and it can bring together a great design. We’re partial to this navy-striped option; it’s classic and chic, and because it’s made from Sunbrella fabric, it’s got 98 percent UV protection, too. From $537, Pottery Barn, 140 University Town Center Drive, #256, Sarasota, (941) 225-8657, potterybarn.com

Modern Magic

The Santorini dining set from Kannoa is the perfect midcentury modern touch for your outdoor living space. But it’s not just pretty to look at: The bases are made from sustainable teak wood, the seats are made with marine-graded fabric, and the tabletop is crafted from super-durable laminate, so it’s incredibly tough. Price upon request, Sarasota Collection Home Store, 622 Central Ave., Sarasota, (941) 955-8313, sarasotacollection.com
