Adirondack is a place in the State of New York. Apparently, early last century everyone in Adirondack went crazy building their own outside furniture which over the years developed into a distinct style. Adirondack furniture is now known worldwide.

This chair is based on the Adirondack style and is a very comfortable chair indeed.

A Note from Mike C.
You might want to mention on the Adirondack Chair Plans site that Adirondack is a huge state park in upstate New York, popular with American titans of industry in the 19th century, and still very unpopulated in the winter months, and known for both its rustic furniture, as well as for beautiful mountains, lakes and rivers.
A great place to visit, because of its remote location, even in the summer it is not crowded.
Thanks, Mike!
