Good Questions: Low-Profile Outdoor Furniture?

Hi Apartment Therapy. I really like the now-popular outdoor wicker furniture sold by many. However, I'm trying to preserve as much of my view as possible since I finally have floor-to-ceiling windows, and wonder if there is a shorter, low-to-the-ground option that wouldn't take up as much of the view. Any ideas? Thanks everyone.

We've seen some low-profile, more affordable options at both CB2 (where your image is from) and West Elm.

Anyone else?

I like the Case Study line from Modernica for low profile modern outdoor furniture. I've used them before, they really are lookers in real life and they are very well made. http://www.modernica.net/index.php?target=products&product_id=41

Ikea has the Arholma furniture, but it looks like it's not available online.

i find west elm products to sit low in general. i would assume that carries over into their outdoor line.
