Few outdoor designs are as iconic (or as universally loved) as the Adirondack chair. With its wide armrests, reclined silhouette, and timeless simplicity, it’s become a symbol of relaxed luxury. From lakeside retreats to modern patios, the Adirondack’s enduring appeal lies in its perfect balance of form and function: comfortable enough for all-day lounging, yet sculptural enough to elevate any space.
But while the silhouette remains classic, not all Adirondacks are created equal. The right Adirondack can last for decades, while others may fade or warp after just a few seasons. Materials, craftsmanship, and design details all play a role in how an Adirondack feels and performs.
That’s why we turned to the people who know them best: AuthenTEAK’s showroom experts, Shae Parker and Kat Cobban, who have both spent years guiding customers in pursuit of the perfect outdoor chairs. Together, they’ve weighed in this year’s standouts, which blend comfort, craftsmanship, and character.
Introducing AuthenTEAK’s Adirondacks of the Year for 2025. Each brings something unique to the table, whether its modern design, timeless craftsmanship, or sustainable innovation.
