PHOTOGRAPHY: REID ROLLS FOR BHDM DESIGN
Beach reading is my favorite genre – light, silly, a simple distraction that sometimes leads to an afternoon nap. Such literary weight requires a soft landing, and these chairs are the perfect companion to a sunny afternoon of skimming.
My roundup of beachy lounge chairs - inspired by these vintage finds in an Orient, NY home – are timeless with a mid-century accent. Sinewy and sleek, they show well in a minimal space, emboldening it with curvilinear lines. I can also imagine them in more layered spaces, with blues and whites, in a more collected, nautical narrative. Beyond the beach, they pair well in the city with more clean-lined sofas and any type of cocktail table. From the beach and beyond, Scandinavian-inspired chairs truly speak volumes in any space.
