MADE IN THE SHADE

T O S S I N TH E TE NDE R Just as there are comfort foods to take on a picnic excursion, there are also profoundly comforting textures.

Leather, wicker, bone china and stainless steel combine in this picnic hamper from Amberley in a way that will evoke gentle sighs of reminiscence and smiles for what’s coming next. £430 for the Goodwood model shown here, www.amberleyproducts.co.uk

AT EASE

Relaxing on your yacht can be really hard work, but given the right accessories, says Louis Postel, the payoff is like nothing else.

A double-decker umbrella in watermelon hues with a frosty aluminum base sure beats A/C. “Santa Barbara umbrellas have this incredible feeling of quality.

The hand-stitching, the drapery-like feel of the panels, the brass and stainless hardware and underside linings,” says David Gesmundo, owner of the Chatham Refinishing Company. “The key to stability is in the bases we make.” $4,350, www.chathamrefinishing.com/ showroom/UmbrellasShade.aspx

DON’T LEAVE THE NEST Ornithologists have shown that baby birds attach themselves to their nests as much as to their mothers. This three-piece, stackable nest (daybed) from Skyline Design is considerably larger, more durable and heavier than the real thing. All it lacks is a mother. Made of all-weather polyethylene wicker and stainless hardware, it does well on land or fixed to the deck. The Shade daybed: 99" x 85" x 76", cushions included. $10,630, www.skylinedesign.com

A SMALL REMINDER Interior designer Anthony Catalfano has made a reputation for breathing life into shore-hugging spaces from Palm Beach to Nantucket. Now Catalfano has put together his own home goods store, where we found this cushiony memo reminding us to “breathe” in bold, nautical, navy script. $85, www.anthonycatalfanohome.com

In a moment of inspiration several years ago, furnishings designer Bea Henrichs created the unzippable, thoroughly washable throwbed in her garage, and her new furnishings company, Hedgehouse, set sail for the Straits of Success.

Coastal designer Robin Pelissier immediately fell in love with the throwbeds’ “vintage Saint-Tropez look,” giving them the royal treatment with monograms and custom fabrics. From $375 in linen to $1,600 in cashmere, www.robinpelissier.com/robins-nest/blog/
