Inspired by an image from Gucci by Gucci (Vendome Press, 2006), Lucy Penfield, principal of Lucy Interior Design in Minneapolis, designed this seaside-set solarium that showcases trends in both home and fashion. From the “True Blue” walls to the sandy sisal and Chanel-bedecked pillows, Penfield and designer Lindsey Rocker created an elegant space that blends modernism with a yacht-club sensibility. Bon Voyage!
