Introducing Santísima: Effortless Style for Spring and Summer
5th March 2025

There’s something euphoric about summer - the golden sunlight filtering through lush greenery, the hum of laughter drifting through the warm air, and the effortless joy of living both indoors and out. Our Spring/Summer 2025 collection, Santísima, is inspired by the vibrant towns nestled between Cuba's lush Escambray Mountains and the colourful Caribbean coast. Bursting with life, this collection captures Cuba’s rich heritage and playful spirit, blending it seamlessly with the charm of a classic English summer. The result is a versatile yet timeless collection, perfect for your summer interior and alfresco spaces alike.

A Tapestry of Colour & Texture

Drawing from Cuba’s opulent history, Santísima reinterprets the country’s signature style with a contemporary twist. We welcome a warm palette of fresh greens, dusky blues, earthy reds, and blush pinks, layered across lively patterns and textures. Think of the faded grandeur of hand-painted dado borders, the intricate beauty of timeworn tilework, and the undeniable appeal of rooms drenched in colour - all brought to life in fabrics, rugs, and statement pieces designed for a new season of living.

Introducing the Curato Outdoor Collection

Nothing says summer quite like long, lazy afternoons in the garden, the soft clinking of ice in a glass, and the feeling of sun-warmed furniture beneath your fingertips. Our new Curato Outdoor Collection embodies this effortless, outdoor lifestyle, offering a lightweight yet weatherproof furniture range crafted from painted aluminium, meaning there’s no need to panic upon a spot of summer rain - this collection will do just fine in all weather. 

Designed with Cuba’s lively alfresco culture in mind but with a pared-back sensibility suited to our English summers, this water-resistant furniture collection includes a generously sized armchair, sofa, side table, and coffee table.

How to Style Curato for Summer Living

Transform your garden, terrace, or indoor area into the perfect place to entertain or relax by layering Curato with printed cushions, embroidery, and delicate crochet throws. Our hero designs, Mariana and Sancti, feature charming hand-machine embroidered and block print designs, bringing an artisanal touch to any room. For those breezy summer evenings, drape a Striped Crochet Throw over the arm of the sofa in one of two soft colourways. And for an extra layer of comfort and practicality, add the water-resistant Arriate Cushion, perfect for outdoor lounging without a care in the world.

Cushions Cushions Cushions

Cushions are the perfect way to add vibrancy to your home, and this season’s designs are full of character. The Círculo Block Print Cushion features a playful circular print that styles with any design. For a breezy, summery feel, the Teja Scalloped Block Print Cushion is crafted from block-printed linen with soft scalloped edges, inspired by Cuba’s sun-warmed tiled rooftops. The Santa Clara Block Print Fringe Cushion takes cues from Cuban architecture, with decorative motifs and a fun, textural trim - perfect for layering. Both the Teja and Santa Clara designs also appear on lampshades, one with a scalloped shape and the other with chic pleats!

A Fresh Approach to Lighting

Summer evenings deserve to be lit beautifully, whether it’s a candlelit dinner under the stars or a softly glowing corner of your sitting room. This season, we have taken an experimental approach to lighting, new proportions and colour combinations create our most unique designs yet! The Striped Drum Lampshade, our first ever drum shade, introduces a contemporary softness to any interior. Meanwhile, the Campanilla Pendant Light is a true statement piece - a rattan shade inspired by delicate petals, effortlessly feminine yet bold, perfect for styling in pairs or standing alone as a striking feature in your hallway, or dining area.

Adding texture and vibrancy to tabletops, the Chik Rattan Lamp and Raya Resin Inlay Lamp complete the collection, offering bold silhouettes that feel both fresh and enduringly stylish. A particularly elegant addition to our seasonal lighting is the Cantero Pleated Silk Blend Lampshade, crafted from a semi-sheer silk and cotton blend with a gauze-like quality. Carefully pleated to create structure and depth, this delicate block-printed shade exudes understated luxury.

Introducing Bed Valances & New Rugs

Another exciting first for us this season is our new range of bed valances. Designed to add a tailored finish to your bedroom, the Margarita Bed Valance is hand-block printed with a statement contrast border and pairs beautifully with the coordinating Margarita Bolster Cushion. Available in three soft colourways, this new addition brings an extra layer of refinement to your sleep arrangements.

To ground the collection, we introduce the Moroccan Jute Rug, a hardwearing yet stylish piece inspired by traditional Tuareg rugs from North Africa. Its geometric design blends tradition with modernity, making it a versatile foundation for any space. And for those who love a fresh take on classics, our much-loved Namda Rug returns in a stunning new multicoloured floral design, offering a playful yet sophisticated refresh.
