Take a trip to summery destinations without going anywhere with these sophisticated, breezy designer items.
Seville Chandelier from Palececk
Made from natural abaca rope, finely woven and hand-wrapped around a powder-coated metal frame, this tiered chandelier is aptly named. It brings to mind the ruffles on a traditional skirt for Flamenco — the Spanish art form originated in Andalusia where the city of Seville is located. Includes antique gold finished chain and canopy hanging kit for customizable hanging heights. MSRP $6,628 For showrooms or retailers, visit palecek.com.
Ipanema 94″ Wicker Double-Chaise Outdoor Daybed with Cushions from Crate & Barrel
Bring a tropical beach vibe to your staycation with this two-piece sectional, inspired by the shape and weave of palm-leaf baskets. Made in Indonesia from resin wicker $4,798 at crateandbarrel.com
Mustique Outdoor Chaise from Arhaus
The chaise epitomizes the lazy days of summer like no other furniture. With its tailored lines, cushionless design and casual touches — the beautiful high and low tones of the intricately handwoven all-weather wicker, and slightly curved legs — this chaise, like its namesake island, takes the art of relaxing to full expression. Made from sustainably harvested Grade-A teak wood. $2,340 at arhaus.com
Capri from Room & Board
Naturally beautiful, this outdoor dining table is also durable and functional. It extends to accommodate friends and family, and wide boards in a slatted design on the top allow water to drain, plus a built-in hole with a matching teak cover piece makes adding an umbrella easy. Made in Indonesia from sustainably sourced solid teak heartwood. $2,599 at roomandboard.com
