The latest in SWFL alfresco luxury offers ergonomic loungers, modular shade systems and fire pits that double as art.

by

In a region of perpetual summer, these poolside furnishings define the new language of outdoor luxury. 

Resort Shade from Paola Lenti

Protection from the elements becomes artistry with legendary Italian design house Paola Lenti. The matte or glossy aluminum framework—available in finishes matched to selected fabrics (checkered Madras, Tamil, open-weave Thuia)—creates a floating plane that can be used solo or arranged to create a broad parasol, outdoor sitting room or a shaded passageway. A quick-release system easily detaches the fabric in high winds (essential for Florida’s tropical storms), and the modular design allows for site-specific compositions. paolalenti.it

Vano Ping Pong Table from Arhaus

Crafted by Mexican artisans,this game table elevates recreational furniture to collectible status. Its oxidized aluminum and teak construction creates a monolithic presence that commands attention while maintaining durability against the elements. Find the piece through Naples’ Arhaus location. arhaus.com

Bum-Bum Toro Speaker by Eugeni Quillet for Vondom

Spanish designer Eugeni Quitllet’s sculptural audio piece for Vondom demonstrates how technology can transcend utility. The system’s Clarion CM1625 speakers—typically reserved for boats—deliver a crisp sound with six hours of cordless playtime. Integrated LED lighting and a recyclable, minimalist polyethylene shell (in 16 colorways) make for an eye-catching poolscape accent. Available through KB Patio & Home Decor’s Naples locations. kbpatiofurniture.com   

Ethereal Nest Rattan Lights from At Faro

If you’re looking for a light and airy vibration without sacrificing drama, these large-scale LED-powered pendants from North Naples home boutique At Faro’s Sanctuary Collection deliver showmanship. Crafted by Indonesian artisans, the woven rattan structures reference traditional Asian fishing baskets. atfaro.com

Kamala Fire Pit from Hommes Studio

At about 4 feet in diameter, this sculptural, freestanding fire feature’s sinuous form and textured, stainless steel facade recall ancient bronze vessels. Handcrafted with undulating voids, Kalam casts shadowy patterns—an effect heightened at night by the dancing flames within. Customizable dimensions available. hommes.studio 

Garden Layers by Patricia Urquiola for Gan

Famed designer Patricia Urquiola’s Garden Layers collection for rug brand GAN takes inspiration from India’s Mughal empire. Pieces from the modular line—including mats, cushions, rolls, raised Indian day beds (single and double) and side tables—can be combined to create personalized sanctuaries. Hand-woven using textiles made from recycled bottles and featuring quick-dry foam padding, the alfresco furnishings merge environmental consciousness with sophisticated durability. gan-rugs.com

The Hammock Throne from Yellow Leaf Hammocks

Engineering meets artistry in this B Corp-certified brand’s signature piece: a freestanding, panoramic-swiveling hammock. The compact, 46-inch-diameter frame blends Appalachian hardwood and industrial steel with quick-drying, fade-resistant yarn for a weatherproof design. Each piece is signed by its Thai Mlabri maker—a reflection of Yellow Leaf’s fair-trade model that’s transforming three rural Thai communities. Here’s to luxury with generational impact. yellowleafhammocks.com

Duna Chaise from Sutherland

Ergonomic precision meets modernist restraint in the Duna. Upholstered aluminum framing floats above a teak base for a sophisticated take that recalls Le Corbusier on vacation. With more than 40 colors of Ishi fabric from Sutherland’s sister brand, Perennials (a leader in performance fabrics), and teak available in various finishes, the lounge chair is customizable to fit your taste. Just add a magazine and a cool drink. Available through your design professional at Perennials and Sutherland Studio at The Collective in Naples. sutherlandfurniture.com
