Spring has officially sprung (unless you live in Colorado where they got over a foot of snow yesterday!), which has many of us looking to improve our outdoor spaces for the coming summer months. Those of you with a green thumb may have already dug your hands into the semi-frozen earth, trying to get an early start on getting your bulbs in the ground, but for others outdoor living might take a new, innovative and imaginative approach after seeing these amazing outdoor designs.

Stone Forest Adagio Chaise

Chaise Lounge by Stone Forest

Stone Forest – Chaise Lounge by Stone Forest
Carved from one piece of rare silver gray Italian marble, the Chaise Lounge by Stone Forest  is more sculpture than lawn furniture. Web-like inclusions run contrary to the horizontal veining inherent in the stone, giving the Chaise Lounge a spirit that those who appreciate stone and marble have come to expect. When used indoors, it absorbs the ambient room temperature, and when used outdoors it will absorb only enough sun to warm you and cradle you in its sensuous, flowing form.
