The Adirondack Chair

A Celebration of a Summer Classic
by Daniel Mack

The Adirondack chair is an American icon. For five generations, it has graced backyards, porches, wooded summer camps, and rustic inns. Furniture expert Daniel Mack captures the spirit of this angular, broad-armed, beckoning chair and salutes it as a piece of true Americana. Mack’s engaging narrative, accompanied by almost 200 evocative images, both vintage and contemporary, tracks the fascinating history of the chair, whose name evokes the 19th-century mountain retreats for which it was originally fashioned. There are also simple instructions on how to build your own Adirondack chair. A splendid gift for Father’s Day or as a thank you to hosts after a summer weekend.
