SPECIAL ISSUE: OUTDOOR LIVING

Many of us could use a little cheer these days, no matter what form: an effervescent design that makes us smile, perhaps, or a sale price that pulls us into a store. This spring, new outdoor furniture doesn’t let the down economy interfere with a sense of escape. You’ll find whimsical shapes, bright white metals and a daybed from renowned designer Patricia Urquiola that sings with color.
