End of summer is for long, laid-back, unplugged days. In that spirit, here are the hot-weather essentials our editors are coveting for the balance of the season:
Above: “I love classic striped deck chairs and have my eye on this modern Dutch version, the Beach Chair by Erik Stehmann and Raw Color from Weltevree,” reports Margot; it’s available for €198. Above: Beautifully woven Bolga fans, handwoven in Ghana, can be found from retailers like Etsy; or consider the colorful versions from Baba Tree Basket Company ($85.32 each).
Above: Fan says: “Come summertime, I usually have at least three kinds of berries in my fridge at any given time. I usually put the berries in a small glass prep bowl for my berry-mad son. Within 30 seconds of handing the bowl over to him, I’ll hear from the other room, “More, please!” I need a bigger vessel. And I’ve found the perfect one.” The Vermont Berry Colander from LA-based Sheldon Ceramics is seven inches in diameter and goes from sink to table; $80.
Above: For elevating outdoor dining of all kinds: a three-piece Camp Set, with a stainless steel knife, spoon, and fork in a simple carrying case; 2,200 JPY (or about $14 US). The knife doubles as a bottle opener. See also Monochrome Campware from a Japanese Maker.
Above: Better than paper: Annie likes the look of these Porcelain Paper Plates by Virginia Sin in Brooklyn, which have all of the nostalgia of summers past and none of the waste; from $88. Above: The ideal pool towel? The Roman Pool Towel from Baina, shown here in the “sage and chalk” colorway ($130). Above: A vast upgrade from flimsy (and prone-to-cracking) plastic versions: retro Stainless Steel Ice Cube Trays, $32.95 from The Vermont Country Store. Above: Julie carries a borosilicate glass drinking bottle for the summer months, with durable, lab-quality glass that doesn’t impart a taste to water (and is eco-friendly to boot). A great option: the Waterdrop Clear Glass Bottle ($30). Above: Hammocks are a summer must, and we like this hardy version, handwoven by artisans in Nicaragua. The Earth Organic Natural Cotton Hammock by Artissanos is $299.
