Cozey's Shinuk collection is a modular system with synthetic wicker over metal frame, available in Sand Dune or Sage Brush. Sundays' Make Waves series includes low-slung modular pieces with vacuum-sealed packaging and removable covers in Gull, Tuscan Stripe, Ocean Stripe, or Brighton Stripe. Balé Homewares' Choco lounge chair features teak wood frame and leather seat, hand-finished by Indonesian artisans with SVLK-certified teak and tree-planting program.
