Adirondack Chair

Aspiring to create the “perfect outdoor chair” for his New York lake house at Lake Champlain, Thomas Lee conceived the Westport chair (named after the town in which it was designed) in 1903. Emblematic of American vacations and outdoor lounging, the chair would go on to become known as an Adirondack chair, after the Adirondack mountain range in New York.\r\n\r\nTypically made of wood, the chair sits low to the ground to ensure stability on mountainous terrain, while featuring a tall slanted back, sloped seat, and wide arms for relaxation.
