European Summer: A Season of Style, Design and Inspiration

Each summer, Europe transforms into a vibrant stage where fashion, art, and design converge in the most inspiring ways. From couture house experiences on sun-drenched coastlines to immersive exhibitions and pop-ups tucked into historic cityscapes, these experiences are built with intention, beauty, and imagination. 

Jacquemus Beach Clubs in Monte Carlo, Saint-Tropez, and Ibiza embrace sun-drenched serenity through color, pattern, and composition. From striped loungers to sculptural furnishings arranged in warm, conversational layouts, the spaces are a study in creating an inviting, tactile environment. Each club feels distinctly rooted in place yet unmistakably Jacquemus in its ease and elegance. 

The David Hockney exhibit at Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris is a stunning showcase of light, color, and perspective, elements we constantly explore in our own work. Hockney’s ability to translate emotion and place through bold, expressive compositions inspires us to approach interiors with the same sense of story, vibrancy, and curiosity. His work reminds us that color can be both structural and emotional. It’s a masterclass in visual storytelling.

Perched high above the Dordogne Valley in Périgord, France, Les Jardins de Marqueyssac is a sculptural wonderland of hand-pruned boxwoods and meandering stone paths. The garden’s undulating forms and dreamlike symmetry create a cinematic experience that feels both whimsical and precise. It’s a place where nature is shaped into art to offer endless inspiration in texture, movement, and mood. Each pathway feels soft, deliberate, and full of intent.

Louis Vuitton’s summer presence in Saint-Tropez and Taormina seamlessly blends fashion, food, and interiors. This season, LV reintroduces chefs Arnaud Donckele and Maxime Frédéric at White 1921 Hotel, where dishes are plated on the house’s own Constellation tableware. In Taormina, the Le Bar lounge stuns with creamy walls, marble surfaces, and handwoven textures—proof that timeless design is in the details. The brand’s approach is a reminder that atmosphere is a vital ingredient in every creative expression.

Across each of these destinations, they share a few defining qualities: an intense attention to detail, beautiful design and architecture, and an ability to evoke emotion through atmosphere and experience. It’s perfectly executed moments of artistry and leisure like these that continue to inspire us as we design spaces meant to be lived in and loved.
