If there were one single design piece that screams Mediterranean seaside resort more than any other, it’s an outdoor daybed with curtains ready for blocking blistering midday rays.

A Quiet Corner
Of course, there’s much to be said for a lounge that speaks to the old Roman campaign chair and offers enough comfort for a long read. Pair the adjustable chain-back lounge chair and ottoman with the hourglass side table, and you’ve got a nook that offers all of the above.

A Shady Retreat
What’s so special about the outdoor spaces of coastal Italy is how good they make you look, even when you’re hiding out from that scorching afternoon sun. Stainless steel chaise longue with cushions, Teak rectangular tray, and timeless sun umbrella with canopy conjure that vibe perfectly.

Open-Air Dining
And there’s little that feels more Italian than enjoying a bit of outdoors. The classic socializing custom calls calls for easygoing pieces like an elegant side chair and backless bench, cushions in striped fabric, and an airy glass-top dining table.
