On The Patio

Relax

Richard Frinier

When California based designer,

Richard Frinier

created his daydream daybed

in 2001, he never imagined

that, over the ensuing years,

his wavy, dream-like canopied design

would ultimately become one of the most

widely-copied iconic emblems of the quickly

changing outdoor furniture industry.

“It was designed as a place to dream,

or a private place to gather with friends,”

recalls Frinier, whose inspiration came from

his travels through Morocco during his youth.

As for the breezy fabric canopy resting
on four angled spear-like posts,
Frinier says that was intended to be
a bit more ephemeral.

“I wanted it to flow freely in the wind,
not to be a taut umbrella

but rather to add to the
earthly elements of sun and wind.”

“It's not so easy to travel anymore
so why not transform
your own home into a resort,”
says Frinier.


“Take a five-minute vacation in your own backyard
before you head out for the day.”
