Words: Holly
When summer comes around, social gatherings hit an all time high. With these outdoor accessories, your pad will be the ultimate social scene, or indeed, just a beautiful place for you to relax. Either way, here are our best outdoor accessories for a stylish summer.
SPARTA PAVILLION SEATER, , The Sparta Pavillion Seater is definitely a focal point for your exterior design. Seating eight people, the Sparta’s dome structure is created by covering an aluminium frame in Black Mushroom Viro. It is furnished with 16 back cushions and 10 throw pillows, and is the ultimate seat for casual gatherings on summer nights, or the more buoyant pool parties that seem inevitable when the sun comes out. With a matching coffee table available as well, you can customise your Sparta Lounge as the weave is available in a variety of colours. Make a statement with this incredible piece of furniture, created by Skyline Design.

TREE WALL FIRE, , Elena Colombo is a sculptor who has branched into interior and exterior design, and she can do no wrong. In particular her fire features are incredible, and while it is beginning to get warmer, a summer’s evening is likely to turn cold before the night is out, making them perfect. This Tree Wall fire feature is a piece that takes the cake, and is good all year round. The feature is made of rolled corten steel and the coppery tone is reflective, meaning that when the fire is lit you get quite the visual display. Each of Colombo’s pieces is custom made to order, so the feature will fit perfectly with your existing furniture and space. Elena runs and owns Colombo Construction Corp, where all of her works can be found.

PACIFIC CHAISE LOUNGE, , When the sun comes out, you’ll want a stylish lounger to soak it all up. The Pacific Chaise Lounge is both contemporary and classic, with a corner arm that can be on the left or the right, whichever suits you. Made of weather resistant rattan, the lounger is available in a large breadth of weave and fabric colours, meaning your entire garden won’t need a redesign. Made by Ikandi Interior Designers, the lounger is comfortable, stylish and sophisticated, and will bring you one step closer to that summer garden.
