Welcome to The Editors’ Cut, our monthly column dedicated to beautiful and useful finds for all over the house. In this installment: In summer, we’re big proponents of keeping a beach chair in the trunk and a swimsuit in our tote bags, just in case the moment presents itself. In that spirit, here are 9 flexible, portable finds—from great-looking fold-up chairs to a souped-up bike basket—for making the most of the longer days wherever you are. — The R/G Editors
Seaside Bicycle Basket
Above: There is something deeply nostalgic and delightful about a bike basket. If you haven’t had one since childhood, consider Underwater Weaving Studio’s grownup version; you’ll find there’s no shortage of things to fill it with (greenmarket finds, clipped flowers, a bottle of wine and a book). Shop here.
Handwoven Market Stripe Mattress
Above: Is there anything more delicious than a summer nap outdoors? We think not. These cotton throw beds from TOAST add a little extra cushioning for front porch, beach, and backyard lounging. Shop here.
Outdoor Market Folding Chair
Above: Come summer (or anytime, really), we can’t resist a great folding chair. This one, from Hay’s new collaboration with British designer Jasper Morrison, folds up and stows in a carrier bag for toting wherever. It also comes in three striped colorways. Shop here.
East Fork Enamelware
Above: The best part about enamelware? It’s lightweight and nearly indestructible, perfect for dinners al fresco and kid-proof picnics. We’ve even found, from experience, that it can be thrown in a tote bag for an impromptu after-work hang on the beach. This year, we’re eyeing the fresh, vibrant green enamelware from East Fork. Shop here.
Aged Conch Shell Planter
Above: For a moveable garden, pots and planters can’t be beat: Move them around to chase the sun, or rearrange when company comes over. This one by Campo de’Fiori is a nod to the shell motifs we’ve been noting lately. Shop here.
Portable LED Lantern
Above: Wherever you’re headed, this indoor/outdoor lantern from Audo Copenhagen is ready to light the way—even if it’s just to bed. Shop here.
