Design Centre Stories

A Sunshine State of Mind

The sun-soaked beaches, bright colours and laid-back sophistication of chic Mediterranean resorts are providing design inspiration for the latest collections. Holly Hunt’s ‘Tortuga’ chair and ottoman from Fox Linton (pictured top) are perfect for lazy lounging on a long day, while ‘Carioca’ by C&C Milano (pictured centre) is a thickly striped upholstery-weight fabric that would be right at home on the awnings and deckchairs of a smart promenade – in fact, the company supplied the original fabric for the deckchairs on the Venice Lido. Samuel & Sons, meanwhile, has taken the southern Italian coast as inspiration for its Amalfi trimmings, which are made from cooling cotton and linen to deliver a more informal feel; pictured bottom is the ‘Sorrento’ fringe from the collection.
