It’s not every day that one of our favorite resources for outdoor furniture drops five new collections. Neighbor, the six-year-old, Arizona-based brand that makes an ever-expanding line of smart designs for backyard lounging and patio dining, has made a name for itself with a contemporary lens on teak, aluminum, and all-weather wicker. Today, they’re releasing several new pieces that have little tricks up their sleeves. Below, get the nitty gritty on chairs that seems to defy everything we know about the mechanics of “plush,” a chiminea with better airflow, an update to the classic Adirondack, and small space-friendly bistro sets in colors we can’t stop thinking about.
Up Down Chair and Ottoman
This design is proof that you don’t need fluffy (re: high maintenance) cushions to feel like you’re sitting on a cloud, an especially nice factor when you’re looking for something weatherproof. This chair and ottoman has a woven look thanks to ingenious Sunbrella straps, and the upholstery’s layer of elastic material set between weather-resistant acrylic means it moves with you. The cherry on top is the aluminum frame, an important consideration if durability is high on your list. Think tailored suit, but rolled up sleeves.
Totem Chiminea
If there’s anything that’s going to make an outdoor space feel just as cozy as the one indoors, it’s a fireplace. This wood-burning chiminea was inspired by designs from the ‘60s and ‘70s, blending a truly retro vibe with modern-day sensibilities, like the super-durable porcelain-enamel coating and an elevated kindling platform for improved airflow and a cleaner burn. It comes in four colors—red, juniper, charcoal, and taupe—and arrives in three easy-to-assemble parts with twist-on legs that sport built-in levelers. Proof: There are only six screws (total!) required to put it together.
Take Two Collection
Fans of a classic bistro set will love this one. These folding chairs and tables, made with powder-coated galvanized steel, come in some wildly fun primary colors, and you can choose between two configurations: dining and low lounge. Perforation means water won’t pool, and each piece comes in under 20 pounds. They’re so easy to hide away when not in use, which makes them a great option for those who think their outdoor space is absolutely too small for furniture (spoiler: it’s probably not).
Hopper Chair and Ottoman
This is the Adirondack’s cooler younger sibling. The stainless-steel frame makes it much lighter, easier to carry across the backyard, and lends the beloved silhouette a happy little upgrade. This one comes in charcoal, olive, and sand, with a teak backrest and armrests.
Brim Fire Table
The lava rocks may steal the show here, but don’t overlook the Brim’s sleek cantilevered base. You’re going to want a professional to install this one—the peace of mind is worth it—but the glass fiber-reinforced concrete means you’ll be enjoying fireside chats for many years to come.
