Explore the latest in al fresco inspiration with summer’s most coveted outdoor furniture

The arrival of spring indicates that warmer days are on our doorstep, and we fully intend to indulge ourselves with the latest in luxury, al fresco living.

Making a case for poolside affairs all year round, these exceptional outdoor collections are causing us to consider our gardens, terraces, pools and balconies as carefully as we do our interior spaces. And with local orders for the upcoming season being finalised soon, we thought there no better time to showcase all of the pieces we’re seeking for the summer days ahead.

Last week's annual Milan Salone Fair, once again continued to show the evolution of design across all facets.

A few of our highlights from the week follow.⁠

⁠
2. @cassinaofficial and Fondation Le Corbusier joined forces to present a captivating large-scale installation titled ‘On the Rocks.’ Paying homage to the great modernist designer the installation explores Le Corbusier’s boxy furniture pieces, which have been reimagined with custom leatherwork by Matthieu Blazy and Bottega Veneta.⁠

3. The Narinari Chair by Tiziano Guardini and Luigi Ciuffreda for @bebitalia took inspiration from the Sea Eagle, an aquatic bird in flight. The stunning organic nature of this chair is sure to see it become a future classic. B&B Italia is available locally from @matisse_nz⁠.⁠

Today we reflect upon the sacrifices made by our forefathers and their gallant efforts made for our freedom.⁠
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old.⁠
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.⁠
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,⁠
We will remember them.⁠
