Recall the SoCal Sunshine With These Poolside Accents

Sarah Sherman Samuel founded her interior and product design studio in Los Angeles in 2014, but has since moved to Grand Rapids, Michigan. Her first outdoor collection for Lulu and Georgia suggests she’s a little nostalgic for the SoCal sunshine, conjuring boho backyard dinner parties and hours of poolside lounging. Standouts are the all-weather wicker Marisol accent chair and chaise, whose wavelike seats beckon lazy afternoons; the Peggy sofa, with iron legs curling under boxy polyester-upholstered cushions; and the concrete Armas coffee table, a round monolith that grounds any plein-air setting. Four recycled-polyester handwoven rugs complete the series: muted graphic Orion, tiled stripe Shere (in brown or natural), and basketweave Thatcher.

Yabu Pushelberg Designs Elegant Outdoor Collection

Sway right this way! Interior Design Hall of Famers George Yabu and Glenn Pushelberg of Yabu Pushelberg debut an 11-piece seating system for the great outdoors whose elements can be arranged in an elegant interplay of shapes. Plush cushions with removable covers perch on slim teak platforms, the two elements clamped together by C-shape aluminum strips that also serve as pivots for the woven polypropylene-rope backrest modules. The Sway collection includes chaise lounges, two sofas, a corner module, pouf, and more. Teak coffee tables in three sizes round out the range, with ceramic and tatami-style woven-polypropylene textile inserts adding a host of decorative possibilities to the tops. Through Molteni&C.

Salvaged Wood Adds Character to This Sleek Lighting

In the process of creating Treeline, studio cofounders Russell Greenberg and Christopher Beardsley discovered a whole new supply chain: salvaged pin oak from New York City’s urban forest, i.e. trees felled during a storm or that needed to be taken down for construction or safety concerns, thereby diverting it from the waste stream. Working with Brooklyn wood supplier Tri-Lox, Stickbulb designed a timber enclosure (available in black, natural, and white) that surrounds an LED beam of impressive intensity, up to 1,800 lumens per foot. The center- or end-mount fixture can be specified 4, 5, 6, or 8 feet long, with direct and/or indirect lighting. There’s even a clever patent-pending panel that opens without tools to reveal electrical components and wiring connections, fa- cilitating easy maintenance, repair, and end-of-life processing. stickbulb.com
