7 - The Acapulco Chair
It's name already makes us travel. This contemporary design icon was created in the 1950s in Mexico by a local craftsman whose name remains a mystery. Crossing eras, it is for us a strong piece of seaside design.
8 - Linens
Choose natural materials like linen or cotton. Always keep in mind to favor colors that match our theme. You can adorn your table with a nice plain or patterned tablecloth, or choose a nice bedspread. But be careful not to overdo the stripes! They assault the eye if there are too many.
9 - Rope Objects
Relating to boat ropes, designers have been able to incorporate rope on many objects. Here's a selection just for you:
10 - The Shaker
The final piece for the perfect waterfront vibe is the Shaker! There's nothing like a little refreshment on a sunny day. It's also a beautiful and trendy piece of decor right now.
Shakers for every taste
