When I Lived in Paris, These Green Outdoor Chairs Were Everywhere — Here's How I'm Bringing Their Parisian Elegance Home

Not long ago, I was a student living in Paris. If I wasn't running between classes or burying my head in books, there's a high chance you would have found me basking in the sun at le Jardin des Tuileries, slumped in one of those iconic green chairs.

And yes, those green chairs are practically synonymous with the city now. You can find them at the gardens of the Tuileries, Luxembourg, and the Palais-Royal. And despite the fact that they are made of metal (and spend hours sitting out in the sun), they're some of the most comfortable chairs I've ever sat in. (Maybe that's the Paris placebo, though?)
