What We’re Loving Right Now Summer 2025 | The Season of Light & Ease
Summer at Palm & Pyne celebrates light in motion — the shimmer of air, the brightness of water, and the effortless calm of spaces designed for both energy and rest. The focus this season: clarity, craftsmanship, and the artistry of simplicity.
Art | The Language of Light
In galleries and studios this summer, artists are exploring luminosity — glass, resin, and watercolor works that hold light as their medium. Sculptural transparency is everywhere, from layered acrylics to frosted glass installations.
Takeaway for Your Home Add reflective surfaces or framed photography of sky and sea. Light becomes part of the design, shifting through the day and changing the mood without effort.
Furniture | Form in Flow
The furniture world is re-embracing ease — curved seating, open frames, and lightweight silhouettes. Cane, linen, and natural oak return as core materials, but with refined tailoring and precision joinery.
What it Means Today Choose furnishings that breathe — slender legs, organic edges, tactile textiles. Spaces feel larger and lighter when form allows air to circulate visually as well as physically.
Color | Clarity & Contrast
The summer palette has softened: sea glass greens, sandy neutrals, chalky blues, and diffused whites. Brightness without glare. These tones work beautifully against blackened metal or weathered brass for definition.
How to Embrace It Introduce cool balance — blue-gray linen drapery, a sand-colored vessel, or a green accent reminiscent of olive leaf. The effect: calm energy with a coastal soul.
Refresh | Seasonal Practice
Quick Impact Lighten textiles, trade wool for cotton, velvet for linen. Let surfaces breathe — clear a table, add a single ceramic bowl or stem in water. Use scent and sound as design elements: open windows, sea salt, quiet music. Embrace the evening ritual — low light, open doors, and cross-breezes that remind you design and living are one.
