The perfect accessory for hot sun, hazy heat kind of weather: Tsumori Chisato's Costa Rica print parasol. Parasols were sprinkled throughout her Spring/Summer runway collection this year. Hand-painted onto silk, it's US$506 through Creatures of Comfort. Not just dreamy & beautiful, oh so civilized too.

Ah, summertime. You're just around the corner.
Five easy pieces that would add up to warm weather perfection:
Ligne Roset's Long Pot by Inga Sempé
Tom Dixon's Pressed Glass pendant lights in aquamarine
Patricia Urquiola's Tropocalia chair for Moroso
Droog's Shadylace by Chris Kabel in white
Tectona's Ladybird table in teak & powder-coated steel
The Grasshopper collection from Tectona is so pretty; pale-green & perforated, vintage-feeling but new. Designed by Dutch designer Wieke Somers, Grasshopper is made from powder-coated aluminum and steel, and is available in 2 table sizes, square and rectangular, with matching chairs. Happily, Tectona's e-commerce site ships anywhere in the world. Prices start at €640 for the smaller table, €265 for a chair. Pricey, yes, but oh my, they'd be sure to brighten up outdoor living!
All of Heath Ceramics's stunning tiles are manufactured at their store and factory in Sausalito, California.
