Summer is the season of light, of vitality, of conviviality. The sun's rays enter the home overbearingly, lunches move outdoors, colours become protagonists and there is a desire to lighten up the environment, bringing freshness and cheerfulness also to the furnishings. But there is one key element that does not change with the seasons: the desire to live in a home that reflects one's style, cosy and well cared for in every detail.
Arti&Mestieri products, thanks to their versatile design and the quality of iron worked with craftsmanship, are designed precisely to accompany the home in every season, adapting to changes in the environment and daily life. In this article we discover together how some of our products are perfect for summer, enhancing indoor and outdoor spaces with colour, personality and that original touch that sets us apart.
Duck table line: irony that conquers
Summer is the season of long lunches, outdoor dinners and cheerful tables set for friends and family. For this reason, the Duck tableware line is among the most popular at this time of year.
Its cute and ironic design - with the unmistakable silhouette of the duck - wins over young and old alike and immediately brings a sense of light-heartedness and lightness. But what really makes the Duck line perfect for summer is its ochre colour: warm but not excessive, sunny and able to enhance colourful plates, floral centrepieces and tablecloths in neutral or bright tones.
Where to use it?
- On a garden table or terrace for an outdoor Sunday lunch;
- As an original tray for serving aperitifs or appetisers;
- Or as a fun centrepiece, combined with tone-on-tone cutlery and crockery.
Combining aesthetics and practicality, the Duck line manages to communicate cheerfulness and personality, making the table not only functional but also memorable.
Memphis and De Chirico vases: colour that decorates
With the arrival of summer, nature becomes more generous: seasonal flowers, aromatic plants and small bouquets find space not only in gardens, but also inside the home. Decorative vases therefore become the protagonists of interior design, and those by Arti&Mestieri are designed to enhance any type of flower or plant, combining modern shapes with summery colour palettes.
Memphis vase
With its decisive and contemporary geometric shape, the Memphis vase is perfect for minimal or industrial environments, but thanks to its garish colour variants, it also becomes a highlight in more eclectic or boho settings. Its more flamboyant colour options go perfectly with summer, while the more classic variants (such as black or marble white) allow for a more sober but still refined combination.
De Chirico vase
Inspired by art and symmetry, the De Chirico vase combines vertical lines with a broad palette allowing for various solutions. It is perfect for those who want to fill an empty corner with style, or to bring life to a console, windowsill or entrance cabinet with a touch of greenery or seasonal flowers.
Lavender, sunflowers, hydrangeas and peonies find their ideal setting in our vases to shine during the summer.
Clocks that freshen up the room: style, lightness and colour
When it comes to summer decoration, it is often forgotten that even the weather can be stylish. Our wall clocks are true decorative elements, capable of furnishing bare walls with elegance and originality. And in summer, more than ever, visual freshness becomes important.
For those who love modern elegance: Tiffany and Ecleo
Tiffany
The Tiffany clock is an ode to clean lines. Available in many colour combinations, it is perfect for airy, modern environments where summer light can reflect off surfaces and enhance their simplicity.
Ecleo
A contemporary reinterpretation of the wall clock. The latter favours simplicity over ostentatious and superfluous elements. Characteristic of the Ecleo clock is the combination of two very different geometric shapes: from the square base to the almost complete circle that defines a large part of the dial.
For those who love originality: Woodpecker and Call Me
Picchiarello
A fun, creative and unconventional clock. The cute stylised woodpecker gives life to a decorative object that winks at nature, without ever compromising on design. Perfect in the kitchen or living area.
Call Me
Another iconic piece in the collection: a vintage telephone that doubles as a clock, ideal for those who love retro style but don't want to give up colour and originality. Perfect to enliven anonymous walls with a touch of nostalgia and lots of character.
An iconic touch: Battito d'Ali
We couldn't but end with one of the most iconic clocks: the Battito d'Ali. Its magnetic butterflies, which can be moved and positioned freely on the wall, represent the essence of summer: lightness, freedom and poetry.
It can be customised every time, creating dynamic and ever-new compositions, perfect for those who like to change without distorting.
In summer, every space is transformed
The beauty of Arti&Mestieri products lies in their versatility. A vase can go from the living room to above a console table in the corridor, a centrepiece can become a towel holder in the bathroom, a clock can complete a kitchen wall or become the star in the bedroom.
Design that lives all year round
Although summer invites us to use more colour and lightness, our products are designed to last and remain relevant all year round. Painted iron makes them durable and stable, and timeless designs ensure a discreet yet impressive presence, season after season. The key is knowing how to interpret them according to the context!
Furnishing the home is not a static operation. It is a living process, changing with the weather, the seasons and the mood. Summer is the perfect time to experiment, to bring light, movement and colour into every room. With Arti&Mestieri you can count on an extensive, original and Made in Italy collection that combines functionality and creativity, design and irony, tradition and innovation. From tables to vases, from clocks to decorative accessories, each product tells a story: yours.
