Summertime Blue

There's nothing like a day at the pool—or lake, or ocean—to combat the humidity and heat of an August afternoon. Failing any of those options, I'd settle for some time in a space that's enclosed in these porcelain—yes, porcelain—panels that mimic a milky blue agate. Because they're translucent, they're spectacular when backlit, but even without illumination, the material has a near magical depth to it. The slabs come in two sizes, 60x30 and 120x60. granitifiandre.com
