Relax -- it’s retro metal

Go tell Grandma. She’ll rejoice that these metal chairs -- all the rage at midcentury -- are back. Echoing the tubular metal frames first devised in the 1920s by Marcel Breuer, this lightweight 21st century design comes from the catalog. The cantilevered fun-in-the-sun seats have classic shell backs and brilliant retro colors: red, yellow or turquoise. They’re $79.95 each; the matching white side table is $69.95.
