The designers, materials and cultural forces leading the midcentury modern era transformed outdoor furniture into symbols of optimism, leisure, innovation, and California modernism.

Midcentury Modern Design for Outdoor Living celebrates the designers, architects, and manufacturers who transformed patios, gardens, pool sides, and terraces into extensions of modern life. Additionally, it provides a cultural history of postwar America, a visual archive of indoor-outdoor modernism, a design reference for collectors and professionals, and a lifestyle narrative about the invention of modern leisure.

Featuring new photography, archival material, and profiles of iconic designers from Brown Jordan and Walter Lamb to the Eameses and Vladimir Kagan, this is the history of how outdoor spaces became icons of modern American living.
