Tactile cut velvets in dreamy shades of blue conjure up imagesof sunlight playing across the dappled Mediterranean Sea.

Furniture crafted in wave-like forms adds to the coastal vibe – pencil-thin legs and slimline shapes catch the fresh, airy mood.

The epitome of laid-back luxe, this sink-into sofa is effortlessly simple, but boasts fine leather details with screen-star appeal.

Serve your limoncello nice and chilled from this funky drinks cabinet… Acid-bright glassware ensures a zesty twist.

Mirroring the branches of the cliff-top pines, this sculptural table evokes memories of the Neapolitan shore.

Stow your beauty essentials in this divine vanity case for your epic cruise along the coastal road.

Perfectly designed for a languorous post-lunch siesta, this curvaceous chaise wraps itself around you like a cocoon.

A wrought-iron balcony, crumbling walls and an essential shot of coffee embody the Amalfi lifestyle.

Retire to bed under glamorous sheets, resplendent with flowers plucked from a verdant coastal garden.
