Recall the SoCal Sunshine With These Poolside Accents

Sarah Sherman Samuel founded her interior and product design studio in Los Angeles in 2014, but has since moved to Grand Rapids, Michigan. Her first outdoor collection for Lulu and Georgia suggests she’s a little nostalgic for the SoCal sunshine, conjuring boho backyard dinner parties and hours of poolside lounging. Standouts are the all-weather wicker Marisol accent chair and chaise, whose wavelike seats beckon lazy afternoons; the Peggy sofa, with iron legs curling under boxy polyester-upholstered cushions; and the concrete Armas coffee table, a round monolith that grounds any plein-air setting. Four recycled-polyester handwoven rugs complete the series: muted graphic Orion, tiled stripe Shere (in brown or natural), and basketweave Thatcher.
