Summer Sizzle

From furniture to textiles, the latest al fresco finds punch up outdoor living

 

FLOWER POWER Hundreds of fanciful, hand-tufted blooms embellish Tuuci’s Ocean Master MAX Bolero: Ombré Blossom umbrella. Its domed canopy offers expansive shade coverage while marine-grade construction withstands the elements. An easy-to-use lift system makes unfurling a breeze. tuuci.com

TURN UP THE HEAT Urban Bonfire has teamed up with True Caliber to launch a series of integrated outdoor kitchens revolving around easy entertaining. Customizable layouts integrate True Caliber’s Rockwell Social Grill, refrigeration and Urban Bonfire’s high-performance, powder-coated finishes. urbanbonfire.com

TROPICAL TOUCH With its deep-seated cushions, the Eliott collection by French designer Stéphanie Coutas epitomizes laid-back living. A solid-wood fauteuil (pictured) and two- or three-seated sofas evoke bamboo; rope detail adds nautical flair. Available in five finishes. stephaniecoutas.com

LIVING LEGACY Holly Hunt has revived Vladimir Kagan’s iconic 1952 Capricorn Collection of sculptural outdoor furniture. This collab reinterprets Kagan’s signature wire-frame classics with a 10-piece line that includes a lounge chair and bistro table (pictured) in two finish options. hollyhunt.com

EASY SEAT Sinuous curves and fanned silhouettes define JANUS et Cie’s new Vasto dining and lounge chair collection. Topped with plush cushions, the perches marry powder-coated aluminum frames with UV-resistant, synthetic-fiber rope. Opt for Bronze (pictured) or lighter Talc colorways. janusetcie.com
