Perennials Super Star

Though the election and inauguration may be over, patriotism need not fade away with these two Perennials upholstery fabrics—paired to rousing effect. The spangled number is Super Star! It's offered in six colorways, among them navy-and-white Hello, Sailor! Taupe, cream, and blue combine in one of Rowdy Stripe's eight colorways, Go, Navy! Both fabrics are solution-dyed acrylic, resistant to fading as well as soil, mildew, and UV rays. 888-322-4773; perennialsfabrics.com. circle 410

Dedon Summer Cloud

Eoos Design has always delivered independent thinking. Because Summer Cloud's lounger and canopy rotate a full 360 degrees, independently, sun-worshippers can position the screen to obstruct unwanted rays on one part of their body while exposing another. The weather-resistant base and tubular frame of powder-coated aluminum, the acrylic mesh screen, and the solution-dyed acrylic cushion fabric are all offered in chalk white.

Ego Paris Fish

Thomas Sauvage's Fish for this manufacturer is certain to make a splash. Choose one of 16 colors for the curvy frame, in lacquered aluminum, and the Batyline mesh, which holds its shape even under prolonged sun and heat exposure. Richard Schultz Design, 215-679-2222; richardschultz.com. circle 413

Tidelli Cube

Bring an urban silhouette to the great outdoors with the Cube club chair. Ti-Flex, a PVC product that mimics natural wicker, forms a white seat that cradles a cushion covered in flame-resistant, weatherproof white vinyl. Supporting it all is a frame in all-weather silver-lacquered tubular aluminum. 305-882-8930; tidellina.com. circle 414

Brown Jordan

These giant waterproof cushions look like they escaped from inside to join the garden party. They're offered in three versions, all 26 inches across. The square is 7 inches thick, while the circle is either the same thickness or a whopping 18 inches—practically an ottoman. For upholstery, specify any of 145 standard fabrics. 800-743-4252; brownjordan.com. circle 415

Garpa Garten & Park Einrichtungen Lido

Combine two halves, with left and right arms, to form the Lido sofa. What looks like a low-profile wide weave in natural rattan is actually waterproof PVC, textured and pigmented in shades of Sand and Mocca. Cushions come upholstered in beige or brown acrylic. 49-4152-925-200; garpa.com. circle 416

Sina Pearson Textiles St. Tropez and Palm

The easy elegance of the French Riviera washes up on U.S. shores with the Côte d'Azur collection. Chenille Monaco Stripe features vivid bands of color on an ivory ground; French sailor stripes inspired satin-weave St. Tropez; and satin-weave Palm's stylized leaf pattern harks back to Henri Matisse. Able to withstand stains, mildew, rain, and sunscreen, all three solution-dyed acrylics are offered in six colorways. 212-366-1146; sinapearson.com. circle 417

Gologorsky Studio Tumble

It's easy to fall for Tumble. Scattered about or ganged to form a bench, these stools flip into four positions. Dimensions are petite: roughly 18 inches square by 15 deep, with a 2½-inch-thick closed cell of waterproof ethylene vinyl acetate wrapping a core of high-gloss, powder-coated aluminum. Custom colors available in addition to two standard options, black or gray. 310-663-3459; gologorskystudio.com. circle 418

Summer Classics Sedona 3475

Sedona 3475 takes its name from the ruggedly elegant, free-spirited town near the Grand Canyon. Select a Black Walnut or Pecan finish for the faux-wicker resin frame; then add cushions in COM. Furnishing an entire terrace? Consider the complementary chaise, glider, lounge, dining chairs, ottoman, cocktail table, and side table. 888-868-4267; summerclassics.com. circle 419

Calligaris Hero

Looking a bit like a slice of Swiss cheese on legs, stackable Hero is contract- grade polypropylene. The bold color offerings include green, red, orange, and pink. For a quieter look, choose white. 336-431-5500; calligaris.it. circle 420

Pircher Soleluna

Italian ingenuity, represented by Profilo Design, meets Scandinavian pine, finished in white, gray, or cappuccino, to create the Soleluna cabana. Impregnated with water and mineral salt, the sustainably harvested wood is so bacteria-resistant and weatherproof, year-round, that this company issues a 10-year warranty for both residential and commercial use.

Urban Oasis Bun Bun

A treat of a seat, Bun Bun is a bonbon that won't melt in the summer heat. This go-anywhere contract-grade piece has a fiberglass core covered in resin mosaic for outdoor use or dried water-hyacinth leaves for indoors. The diameter is 22½ inches. 212-242-8686; uocontract.com. circle 422

Kingsley-Bate Nantucket

A refreshing New England breeze blows into the backyard with the Nantucket double chaise, made of unfinished solid teak. Urethane-polyester cushions covered in solution-dyed acrylic are available. Backrests are separate, armrests and trays optional. 703-361-7000; kingsleybate.com. circle 424

Tuuci Exuma

Modest beachcombers can rinse in private, thanks to the Exuma cabana and sun shower. Walls of sturdy canvas, which stands up to UV rays, water, and crocking, shut tight in front with a marine-grade zipper that keeps decency intact. The vented pagoda roof attaches to the aluminum frame with rust-resistant finials. Remove the top to screw a chrome showerhead onto a common garden hose. 305-634-5116; tuuci.com. circle 423

Henry Hall Designs Naturale

A partnership with the Belgian company Tribù resulted in Naturale. Woven polyester, wrapped with natural hemp, covers an aluminum frame outfitted with PVC wheels, while removable seat covers conceal Dacron-wrapped cushions available with or without a waterproof flow-through foam. 415-863-4868; henryhalldesigns.com. circle 425

Santa Barbara Designs Mission Terrace

The Hayward family's love affair with the umbrella continues. Mission Terrace's octagonal or square canopy is supported by a post and spokes in American oak, weatherproofed with marine-grade varnish. Ruffled Mirasol Flamenco comes in powder-coated aluminum in five colors. And the octagonal vented Santa Barbara's five natural-wood options include teak. 805-683-9464; sbumbrella.com. circle 426
