While I'm on the subject of balconies... I mean terraces, I thought I'd post these photos of two cabanas installed at Trina Turk's New York store. Turk commissioned talented designer Joel Woodard to create cabanas (also known as changing tents) based on some frames that were featured in the Tony Duquette book.
Woodard tweaked the tents and made them taller than your run of the mill cabana. He used fabrics from Turk's new fabric line at Schumacher. The exterior fabric is "Peacock" in the color pool, and the interior is lined in "Zebra" in the Bamboo colorway.
How great would it be to have one of these by your pool, on your terrace, in your dressing room. I'm convinced that the tents' height will make one look slimmer, especially in a bikini!
I ordered some of the super paradise print in pool for outdoor cushions for a client who loves her blues and greens - I cannot wait to see how they look!
ReplyDeleteLove the cabanas--they would make a great patio cover for Sunny California. Her colors are amazing, such fantasy. Thanks for the post and am glad to see that you are back!
ReplyDeleteThe fabrics are gorgeous. How chic!
ReplyDeleteThese are mad, luxurious constructions and every girl should have one! Gorgeous zoo: peacocks and zebras. Who'd have put those together?
ReplyDeleteI would love one of these!
ReplyDeleteTerrific look and very retro-cheerful. I'd love one enlarged to dining-pavilion size.
ReplyDeleteSo incredibly chic!! Who wouldn't feel glamorous "slipping into something more comfortable" in these? Can't you just picture two flanking the far end of a terrific Hamptons pool? The marriage of the two wild prints is really inspired design!! Love how the yellow zebra "glows" inside them and how he did the tie backs to contrast with that fabulous peacock fabric used on the exteriors. I'll take a pair!!!
ReplyDeleteLove this ikat style cabana , looks so exotic
ReplyDeleteThese cabanas are such fun and the TT fabrics are wonderful. I have used them outside on a patio and porch for a client this summer in the yellow and grey colorways. I have a Castaing post out today and have linked your great post in it. LA
ReplyDeleteFABulous! I love the lining.
ReplyDeleteoooo... I love that print. Great post as always my dear!

That Joel Woodard sure knows his fabrics, and has just the best design taste no matter what the project.
ReplyDeleteI love these Cabanas! I intern at the Trina Turk showroom in New York and everything she does is fabulous! Thanks for posting these! My mom and I recently did some Trina posts on our new blog www.chiccoles.blgospot.com feel free to check it out!
ReplyDeleteSeveral months ago my daughters introduced me to blogs and gave me a list to read. I have been absolutely fascinated by them, yours being one of my favorites! Needless to say you were sorely missed, and I am very glad you are back!
ReplyDeleteI just love that she's done this line for schumacher. It's so fresh and young, proving once again that Schumacher is always one stop shopping.
ReplyDeleteSchumacher has been rockin lately. Clever window display!
ReplyDeleteTie-dye for!! Very chic attention-grabber!! Love the two fabrics together - inspired choices especially given the elongated lines of those elegant tents!! Stone cold chic!!!
ReplyDeleteNot only is that an adorable window display, but that fabric on those tents is to die for. Love Trina's collection for Schumacher!!
