Part sculpture, part furniture, the Obelisk is an entire outdoor collection that stacks neatly up into one piece - unlike the vast majority of lawn furniture, which either must be left out or collected in an ungainly pile. Designed by Frank Ligthart, this modular stack appears to be a sculpture, hand woven from a synthetic fiber called Hularo. The stack deconstructs to reveal that it is comprised of four chairs and a coffee table. Available at JANUS et Cie, the Obelisk is $9,800.
