Inhabitat [5]first spotted Loll Designs [6] at Haute Green [5] in 2007, where their sleek 3-slat Adirondack [7] chairs were hard to ignore. Since then this Duluth, MN-based design outfit has hit its stride, launching several new collections with leading national retailers. From their iconic adirondacks to their brand new low-profile outdoor living rooms and practical stackables, Loll Designs’ sustainably crafted furnishings [8] make lounging around that much more irresistible.
The founders of Loll [6] are all former skaters [9] (and modern lollygaggers) who made their entrepreneurial debut as skate park [10] builders. Eventually, from construction scraps [11] they could not bear to throw away, they started building chairs. From this experimentation emerged an innovative design company that today makes a wide range of sustainable outdoor furnishings from recycled clear plastic milk cartons [12], or high-density polyethylene (HDPE [13]). For table surfaces, they use Richlite [14]. The result is stylish, sustainable, and fairly affordable modern outdoor furniture.
New this year are the elegant and low-profile Monterey Collection [15] and the Emmett Adirondack [15], both available exclusively through Room & Board [16]. For those who prefer the classics, the iconic 3-slat Adirondack that put Loll on the map is now available exclusively through DWR [17]. Beyond the home, Loll’s stackable Al Fresco [18]collection of tables, benches, stools, and stackable chairs are perfect for commercial use. The entire Loll collection is available through Denizen Design Gallery [19] for commercial projects.
