5 outdoor pieces for a naturally relaxed summer

Beauty lies outside

There are few things more enjoyable in life than laying back in the sun doing nothing or sleeping the siesta on a hammock swaying gently. The summer is here already and at Let’s Pause we have five designer pieces for the garden, perfect for forty winks and imagining finding ourselves in the middle of one of those laid back, idle summers celebrated by cinema.

Today we are suggesting that you sit back and get into the summer vibe that is so beautifully portrayed in films like Stealing Beauty by Bernardo Bertolucci and Call me by your name or A Bigger Splash from Luca Guadagnino. Beyond the storylines, the three films are great examples of how cinema can evoke the Mediterranean summer and dolce far niente, portrayed in delicious detail to the point where these elements become almost another character in the plot.

This carefree relaxation, this enjoyment of the sun, of the evenings, of the sea, the pool, the siesta, life itself… is what we want for you this summer. That’s why we’ve collected two loungers and two hammocks, all by Let’s Pause made by hand using natural fibres, for sunbathing or contemplating the stars. And for the finishing touch? An earthenware lamp that brings your summer nights to life.

Make a note, because your gardens need these pieces, for porches and chill out zones or rooftops:

1. Amoreira Lounger

The Amoreira Lounger is made by hand from poplar wood and braided palm leaves. This elegant and geometric piece of furniture is a simple design of unique beauty, that lends a rustic style to any outdoor space. Line them along the edge of a pool for natural chic ambience, but their versatility allows you to place them anywhere really: they are stylish with the added bonus of seductive wood and cord fragrances.

2. Calaluna Lounger

The Calaluna Lounger recalls the soles of summery alpargatas (rope soled sandals) and the look of woven carrier baskets. An elegant hand-woven esparto grass cloak covers a solid pine structure and makes the perfect spot for relaxing with nature. The addition of comfy soft cushions provides the ideal accessory, adding an elegant and colourful touch. Want to know a hidden detail not obvious in the photo? There’s even a handle and wheels to move it around freely and place it where you decide works best.

3. Albeira Hammock

At Let’s Pause we believe that hammocks have a special power to stop time in its tracks through its gentle swinging motion. Especially our Albeira Hammock, a piece woven from fique vegetable fibre that forms part of our Unique Species. This hammock was created by Albeiro Camargo, an artisan from a small Colombian community. His expert hands shape this marvel of textile weaving technique: free from knots with a delicate texture, a natural wrap-around that hugs the body and supports it comfortably, without the need to add anything else.

4. Albeira Swing

Still want to be rocked back and forth slowly? Then the Albeira Swing is another creation from Albeiro Camargo that you simply can’t ignore. This time he’s imagined the hammock design as a swing. Also made by hand from fique vegetable fibres, another limited-edition piece, in fact it’s numbered, that you can hang from trees, a structural beam or a pergola. However we do recommend accessorising the swing with a cushion for the best possible experience: the Nus Cushion by Let’s Pause is an excellent choice.

5. Linosa Portable Lamp

Last but not least, there has to be light, that adds magic to the night without competing with the stars, of course. The Linosa Lamp is a handmade floor lamp, made from traditional oven baked clay. With its contemporary design and off-white colour, it adds big personality wherever it’s featured. Place it in key areas around the garden and transform the luminous ambience of your exterior spaces depending on the mood you want to create; it’s portable and versatile, during the winter you can bring it indoors just as easily to light the living room, corridor or bedroom.
