Spring Fever: Hot Outdoor Merch for Under $100
Article or RSS item submitted by Ty Wenzel • Mar 19th, 2008 • Category: Featured, Interiors Exteriors, Product & Merch, Style for Less Dough |I always know when it's time to write about Spring. I have a rogue crocus that blooms below my woodland hydrangea every year. It's not particularly pretty, just a little thing - but it plays my barometer. It tells me that Spring is nearly here and although Frost is not over, it might be time to think about the patio, the yard and ways to make living more outdoorsy.
Below is a list of nice pieces I found while scouring the internet. More will be added in the following week, but here a start...
Gus* Modern - Fruit Trough. A watertight, stainless steel trough for plants, fruit, candles, or storage.

Price: $90.00
Who: Designed and Manufactured by Gus*.
Where: This item ships to anywhere in the continental US. Shipping is FREE!
Material: Stainless steel.
Specs: 30w x 3.5d x 3h (inches)

Designer: Orlando Fassetta
An icon of Italian cafe dining.
Stackable up to 13 chairs.
A durable outdoor chair made of coated steel.
The stylish Cricket Armchair (1991) may be one of the best design values around. Ruggedly made of steel with a plasticized finish, this caf¿ chair can handle all weather and frequent use. What's more, the chairs stack by the dozen. With its cosmopolitan good looks, the Cricket brings charm to a restaurant terrace or a home patio. In Italy, it is perhaps the most popular caf¿ chair; in the U.S. it has been used in the Armani cafes. Pair the Cricket chairs with Orlando Fassetta's Ring Table (2003), which is also constructed of the same steel and thermoplastic coating. Cricket chairs are stackable up to 13. Balancing on only the two back legs is not advisable due to the angle of the legs. Made in Italy.
