Adirondack Chair

Adirondack chair (or in some parts of Canada, a Muskoka chair) is a type of chair used primarily in an outdoor setting.The precursor to today's Adirondack chair was designed by Thomas Lee in 1903. He was on vacation in Westport, New York and chairs needed for his place in the summer. Has tested the first designs on his family.

The original Adirondack chair was made with eleven pieces of wood, cut from a single board. He had a straight back and seat, which were settled at an inclination to sit better on steep slopes of the mountain in the area. Also featured wide armrests that have become a hallmark of the Adirondack chair.

Today's Adirondack chairs usually feature a rounded back and contoured seat. The style has also been translated to other pieces of furniture, from gliders to love seats. Some modern Adirondack chairs are made from plastic lumber or engineered wood instead of wood.

After arriving at a final design for the "Westport plank chair," the shelters have offered to Harry Bunnell, a carpenter friend in Westport, who was in need of a winter income. Bunnell quickly realized the chair was the perfect item to sell to Westport's summer residents and apparently without permission of the shelters, Bunnell filed and received patent number 794,777 by 1905. [1] Bunnell has produced its chairs bridge for the next twenty years. His 'Westport Chairs' were all signed and made of hemlock in colors of dark brown or medium green.

Adirondack chairs are becoming popular as outdoor seating available at cafés, because the arms control plans are suitable for food and beverages on, making it possible to provide specific arrangement of seating without using tables
