What do you get when you bring together an iconic pillar of British luxury and an avant-garde Italian design house? The summer terrace of dreams — that's what you get. It's London's slice of La Dolce Vita, right in the heart of Mayfair, and I'm already plotting how to bring the beauty to my own backyard.
A luxury-lovers' collaboration of dreams, London landmark hotel, The Dorchester, has teamed up with Milanese fashion house, La Double J, to bring life to their Summer Garden. Open until September, this modern garden terrace invites you to leave the rush of the city behind and indulge in the exuberant charm of Italy's southern coast. Floral motifs and eye-catching patterns collide in this luxurious dreamscape, where lush greenery brushes up against the glorious sculptures by American sculptor Lyman Whitaker — a cacophony of the real and surreal; there is a truly magical quality to this joyful terrace.
