Alright, so it will be a little late (thanks, Mr. Groundhog). But with spring&#8217;s inevitable arrival comes the start of sidewalk café season. Welcome the warmth with these six great ways to drink and dine on outdoor design.</p>
<p><span id="more-21922"></span></p>
<p><strong>1. Beaker-Style Beverage Dispenser -</strong> Quench a throng&#8217;s thirst with this oversize beaker-style dispenser, perfect for serving up seven quarts of lemonade, sangria, tea, or water. Handmade glass with a natural cork top and silver-tone plated spigot. Get it at <a title="CB2" href="http://www.cb2.com/view-all-outdoor/outdoor/glass-beverage-dispenser/s105158" target="_blank">CB2</a>.</p>
<p><strong>2. Folding Air-Chair, Jasper Morrison -</strong> Jasper Morrison&#8217;s fresh take on the folding chair is perfect for café seating. Lightweight and sturdy thanks to its namesake air-molding process, the Air-Chair offers casual comfort and even color. Choose from four shades, all sold in sets of two. Also drains rain thanks to a runoff cut-out in its seat. Find your pair at <a title="Herman Miller" href="http://store.hermanmiller.com/Products/Folding-Air-Chair-Set-of-2" target="_blank">Herman Miller</a>.</p>
<p><strong>3. Wallter Post Planter, Linda and Max Geiser -</strong> Bring your small plants, succulents, and buds up to dining level with these colorful elevated planters. Made from powder-coated spun aluminum and available in four bright tones, they&#8217;ll add a flush of flora to your café spread.

<p><strong>4. Table_One Bistro Outdoor, Konstantin Grcic -</strong> There are just a few key elements to a great bistro table, and Grcic&#8217;s straightforward design has them all.

<p><strong>5. Tuuci Hexagon Shade, AlumiTeak -</strong> When April showers or the summer sun get too heavy, take refuge beneath Tuuci&#8217;s state-of-the-art umbrella. Unlike domed umbrellas, its low-profile hexagon shade shields without obstructing. As an experienced sailor, designer Dougan Clark knew the marine-grade materials that would ensure durability and ease of use. Check it out at <a title="Design Within Reach" href="http://www.dwr.com/product/tuuci-hexagon-shade-aluma-teak.do?sortby=ourPicks#.UU_8e1vzasB" target="_blank">Design Within Reach</a>.</p>
<p><strong>6. Stool_One,<strong> Konstantin Grcic </strong> -</strong> With its striking contrast of minimalist design and cantilevered comfort, Konstantin Grcic&#8217;s Stool_One is a feast for the eyes and a comfy perch for the rest of you. For a truly chic café stool, choose the black, anodized aluminum finish. A perfect match for the <a title="Table_One Bistro" href="http://store.hermanmiller.com/Products/Table_One-Bistro-Outdoor" target="_blank">Table_One Bistro</a>.
