We’re finally getting a taste of that summer sun. Few things pair better with a breezy day outdoors than a fine beverage.

We’ve rounded up some stylish objects and furniture pieces for thirsty design lovers that will inspire you to raise a glass from the comfort of home.

The Bilge Lounger from design studio Uhuru is made from reclaimed bourbon barrel staves (as well as leaf springs from New York City fire trucks). The barrels come from Bardstown, Kentucky, the Bourbon Capital of the world. “Uhuru began by dismantling the barrels into their individual pieces: staves, metal bands, and circular heads. We explored how these parts can work together to create simple functional designs while retaining the individual characteristics and natural colors of the aged wood from the original barrels, thus creating a new vernacular.”
