Automatic

The Palms Casino Resort, Las Vegas, has attracted quite a bit of notice, courtesy of visits from the kids of MTV Networks's Real World. Poolside, it's the Skin daybed that's getting all the attention. With a planked ipe wood platform, the daybed comfortably supports two—or three, if you're feeling frisky in Sin City. 4501 South Western Boulevard, Chicago, IL 60609; 773-869-0555; 555.com. circle 321

McKinnon and Harris

Oh, how we love a good garden party. Ugh, how we hate guests who think that casual means no RSVP required. Thanks to the Wyatt aluminum table collection, though, we say, "No matter." Square, rectangular, circular, and demilune versions can be configured—or reconfigured—to suit any number. P.O. Box 4885, Richmond, VA 23220; 804-358-2385; mckinnonharris.com. circle 324

Casa Midy

Based in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, Jorge Alameda and Anne-Marie Midy couldn't help but be inspired by the area's rich materials and artisanal practices.
