With the holidays coming to a close and the new year at hand, cozy winter nights are beginning to feel like they’ve run their course as we turn our thoughts toward the spring.  Today’s roundup of stunning outdoor furniture collections offers a fresh take on patio pieces; a few, like the Sphere Swing and the Fiore Sofa, start off with a wicker base and get creative from there, while others — like the wildly colored, Baroque-inspired “Queen of Love” chairs from Graziano & Pigatti pictured below — introduce a completely new material altogether (in this particular case: recyclable linear polyethylene). We’re just a few short months away from putting away our sweaters and scarves in favor of  shorts and sun hats; and once we do, these pieces will be there, waiting for us to whip up a pitcher of sangria and toast to the chic summer up ahead.
