Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'lawn' (an area of grass) + 'furniture' (items that furnish a space) yields furniture intended for use on a lawn. This is a regular noun–noun compound pattern common across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the intended meaning.
Etymology
Lawn furniture comes from the simple idea of putting furniture on a lawn, like chairs and tables sitting on the grass for a picnic. So, it means 'chairs, tables, and other furniture made to use outside on a lawn or in a garden'.
