I have a fondness for inexpensive portable lawn chairs, the kind with aluminum frames and colorful webbing. Garza Marfa‘s Sling Armchair, at $1,500, is neither cheap nor foldable, but it shares with the classic backyard staple the same mid-century sensibility and no-nonsense stylishness.
The Sling Armchair features a waxed canvas sling seat, Texas pecan armrests, beaded lacing on the back, and a steel base, which, like many of Garza Marfa’s furniture designs, is available in a range of colors.
![The chairs are sold at both Garza Marfa (for \$\1,5\25) and Heath (for \$\1,500), which started carrying their furniture in \20\1\2. Heath offers the chair in three color combinations (all pictured here); for more options, head to the Garza Marfa site, where you can select from a rainbow\2\17;s worth of base colors.](https://media.gardenista.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/garza-marfa-sling-arm-chair-gray-white-733x733.jpg)
