Welcome to OPUMO's weekly roundup of our favourite shoppable finds. From menswear to design objects and everything in between, these are the pieces that have caught our eye over the past seven days.
This week, we're embracing a Mediterranean state of mind. Think leisurely lunches in the shade, linen shirts that soften with every wear, beautifully made objects destined to live on the table all summer and a slower pace of life that prioritises good food, good company and the great outdoors.
HAY Striped Chair
Whether it's a city balcony or a sprawling terrace overlooking the sea, every outdoor space deserves somewhere comfortable to settle in for the afternoon. HAY's colourful Striped Chair updates the classic folding deckchair with a weatherproof finish and playful design that feels tailor-made for summer.
Frescobol Carioca Trancoso Bats
Inspired by the beaches of Rio de Janeiro rather than the Mediterranean, Frescobol Carioca's Trancoso bats are made for leisurely rallies rather than fierce competition. Crafted from sustainably sourced hardwood with comfortable neoprene grips, they're as beautiful to look at as they are to play with.
Meller Nayah Sunglasses
A good pair of sunglasses should take you from morning coffee to sunset drinks without missing a beat. Meller's Nayah combines clean lines with polarised lenses, offering a contemporary silhouette that works just as well in the city as it does by the coast.
ASKET Linen Shirt
Few garments capture Mediterranean style quite like a sky-blue linen shirt. Woven from 100% French linen, ASKET's take is lightweight, breathable and effortlessly elegant, whether worn open over swimwear or tucked into tailored trousers.
Drake's Striped Swim Shorts
Drake's brings its signature refinement to an often-overlooked summer staple. These striped swim shorts take their cues from vintage Riviera style, with a timeless pattern and tailored fit that looks just as good at lunch as it does in the water.
Paraboot Pacific Sandals
The fisherman sandal has become an essential summer silhouette, and Paraboot's Pacific remains one of the finest examples around. Handmade in France from premium leather, it's robust enough for everyday wear yet refined enough to pair with linen tailoring.
Olio Guglielmi Terra Pregiata Olive Oil
Great olive oil is one of life's simplest pleasures. Produced in Puglia, Olio Guglielmi's Terra Pregiata delivers rich, peppery flavour in a beautifully presented bottle that's worthy of a permanent spot on the kitchen counter.
La Pavoni Espresso Machine
More than a coffee machine, the La Pavoni is a piece of industrial design history. Its iconic lever-operated design has been producing exceptional espresso for generations, turning your morning coffee into a ritual worth slowing down for.
Olive Wood Serving Board
A generous spread of bread, cheese and cured meats deserves an equally handsome backdrop. Crafted from richly grained olive wood, this serving board brings warmth and character to any table, with every piece featuring a unique natural pattern.
Italy 1900: A Portrait in Colour
Part travel inspiration, part social history, TASCHEN's Italy 1900: A Portrait in Colour offers a remarkable glimpse into the country's past through beautifully restored photographs. The perfect coffee table companion while dreaming up your next escape.
