How to Build a Modish Adirondack Chair — Ana White

The major difference with this design is it’s got a slightly more modern influence.  Think Pottery Barn vs West Elm.  Like these. And the chair above is built without creating a curved lip, so the edge is going to be a little sharper.  But the chair above is also going to be easier to build because of the sharper edge.  We’ll call this the Sharp Adirondack Chair.

Here are the two chairs side be side.  Standard outdoor lounge seat height is 15″, with the Original plan on the left coming in at 15 1/2″ high, and the Sharp Adirondack Chair at 14 1/2″.  Both seats have the same dimensions.  The purpose of adding this chair to the collection is to give you options.  If there is enough interest, I would be happy to add the child sized plan to this collection.

Cut your boards and dry fit together.  Finish the boards to seal all edges and to make finishing easier (it would be very difficult to paint your chair as a finished product).  Work on a clean level surface.  Check your project for square as you go along.  Predrill and countersink your screws, using glue on all permanent joints.  Work safely.

The Humble Southern Hammock

An American icon, the Adirondack or ‘Westport , ’ chair was born from what I believe all good design comes from: simplicity, necessity, and function. Years after its humble invention by a carpenter in rural New York it still epitomizes the celebration of the outdoors in the Northeastern states and is being reproduced by manufacturers everywhere, and sold by many including L.L. Bean , Pottery Barn , and the like. Its influence can be found across the country now, but another timeless American icon will begin to rival its popularity as time passes.

We, in the Southeast, have our own iconic piece of furniture. It has similar origins as the Adirondack in that it, too, exists because of a need for functionality. I submit that the rope hammock will be the next great, every-man American furniture icon. It has the history, function, and beauty to achieve such a status but lacks only recognition. Much like the Adirondack, the first hammocks were made from the materials at hand. Native Americans in the West Indies would weave together natural fibers to create these swinging beds that would keep them off the hard ground and away from many bothersome crawling creatures.
