Channeling the outdoor lounge furnishings of British and European estates, woven wickerwork is both referential and modern. While we tend to opt for natural materials, we also don’t want a sofa that will deteriorate with time. In this case, practicality and permanence is preferred, which is why the majority of our picks are woven from weather-resistant resin wicker. Here are our 10 favorite woven outdoor sofas.
