If we were furnishing a house on the coast tomorrow, we would start here.
Sofas worth building a room around
Chosen by hand
Every piece is selected by our editors for design, materials and how it lives near the water. No paid placements.
Straight to the maker
We don’t sell anything. Each link goes directly to the brand or an authorised retailer, at their price.
Checked and current
Links, prices and availability are re-checked regularly, and anything discontinued comes off the site.
The chair in the corner
Edits and material studies
Slipcovered sofas and chairs for real coastal life
Sand, sunscreen, a wet dog: the slipcover was made for houses near the water.
Travertine, marble and stone tables
Stone brings the beach indoors in the quietest way, porous travertine especially.
Woven by hand: cane, rattan, rush and rope
Handwoven fibre is the shortest route to a room that feels like summer.
Design icons worth the investment
Some designs have earned their place for decades: the Eames Lounge, Saarinen’s pedestal table, Hans Wegner’s chairs, Platner’s wire.
White oak, all the way through
Pale, tight-grained and endlessly calm, white oak is the coastal modern wood.
Outdoor furniture for the terrace and the pool
An outdoor room should be as comfortable as the living room and tougher.
Beautiful pieces under $1,500
Good design doesn’t have to be the most expensive thing in the room.
Curves ahead: sculptural sofas and chairs
Rounded backs, kidney shapes and pebble-soft arms echo the lines of the shore.
The table everyone ends up at
