Summer In The Tropics: The Palma Collection

Palma takes us deep into the tropics through bold color, fragrant blooms, and the lush, ceremony-rich interiors of Southeast Asia. Nineteen eclectic designs steeped in Balinese soul emerge in botanical embroideries, kaleidoscopic prints, and hand-painted geometrics.

Azalea Pink, Cantaloupe, and Lemongrass arrive as fresh additions to the palette, where bold hues meet soft silhouettes and pattern converses with texture. Palma is maximalism with a modern pulse. The result is a summer table that is vivid, funky, and unapologetically joyful. We had the pleasure of collaborating with the exceptional creative team at Rafanelli Events to bring each of these designs to life through a curated edit of our brand new tabletop elements designed to layer seamlessly with every design in the collection.

We begin with Florbella, the crown jewel of the collection. Dense with botanical illustration, trailing vines, and sun-warmed citrus, it shares the same abundant spirit as a Balinese offering bowl. This design was so inspiring, we brought its playful energy into our first-ever scalloped runner, a contrast-bound merrow edge napkin, and a stylish self-flanged pillow that makes a true statement. Atop the table, our Berry Ginori Cabana dinnerware delivers a richly saturated counterpoint that leans into the tropical maximalism Florbella was born for.

There’s an abundance of rhythm in Atlas. Bold, architectural, and playful, this pattern introduces geometric movement in four versatile shades of Cornflower, Lemongrass, Olive, and Bottle Green. If you’re looking for a graphic table linen that can really hold its own wherever you lay it, this is the one to reach for.

Looking for something a little more relaxed? Endro delivers just that. Printed on a textural Sonoma base, its maze-like pattern feels so organically hand-drawn, you might just catch yourself tracing it in a moment of childlike wonder. Offered in Spring Green and two brand new colorways, Cantaloupe and Lemongrass, it mixes and matches to a tee with everything else in the collection.

Samba is Endro's more textural counterpart. An all-over intricate embroidery that reads almost solid from across the room, and reveals its full and playful character up close. Arriving in Spring Green and all-new Azalea Pink, you can stretch into joyful and creative corners of design layering. In Azalea Pink, follow the lead from Rafanelli's design instinct and pair bold color against bold color - our Evelyn Chartreuse charger, a color very much on the rise, beneath the electric fuchsia of the Porpora Ginori Oriente Italiano dinner plate.

Natural Citra brings a neutral boho vibe for designs that demand a subtler approach. Its oversized tropical leaves come to life via rope embroidery with a sense of organic movement, evoking carved wood and jungle-inspired foliage. The Amelie Roseatte dinner plate is a natural companion, its delicate pink edge and sweet shape adding just the right amount of personality to the mix.

We never met a timeless stripe we didn't love, and Parchment Julian is certainly no exception. With it’s sun-faded neutrals and substantial hand, it’s the breathing room your table needs between the collection's bolder personalities. Linear, grounded, and essential. The design choices are endless, but we love this take on a classic stripe: our Vida dinnerware in its deep terracotta tones layers beautifully against the understated elegance of the Melodia Smoke glassware. Add a touch of gold with the Heritage flatware for a unique and romantic finish.

Pura and Daphne are arguably the collection's most joyful duo, each bringing their moment of handicraft to the table.

Pura's geometric checker pattern was imagined and hand-painted by our textile design team in a vibrant Azalea Pink watercolor. The fluid marble concept, Daphne, hails from a Swedish duo of marbling experts - colored anew in a peachy, sundrenched palette that's ready for the hottest summer days.

And like everything in Palma, these designs are built to play well together. Layer Pura against a Spring Green napkin, pair Daphne's new flavor with pops of lemongrass, set them beside Atlas and watch the table find its own logic. That is the joy of this collection.

If we could capture a still frame from the heart of the collection inspiration, it would be Indah. Detailed, delicate palm trees and tropical motifs rendered in a richly textural embroidery feel like they were traced from the wall of a Balinese temple. In Fern, Indah is warm and verdant. In Cornflower, it cools into something more editorial, set picturesquely against our fresh white Lido bar and white Lennon bar back.

Bahia is for statement-making summer soirées and the barefoot terrace brunches alike. With its intricate Suzani-inspired embroidery spanning edge to edge, it carries the weight of something ceremonial. In Azalea Pink it’s festive and a little audacious. If your color story lives in your tabletop elements, choose Natural Bahia instead as a stunning neutral base.

Finally, to capture the magic and movement of the tropical world, Papillon dances its way into the Palma lineup. This conversation starter bustles with three-dimensional butterflies embroidered across a sheer background - ready for its metamorphosis from a sunset cocktail hour to a dramatic evening affair. The talented creatives at Rafanelli saw the vision to pair our Dusty Blue Evelyn dinnerware in contrast with Butter Bella glassware, playing up the linen's vibrant mix of cool and warm tones. This truly singular linen is ready to grace the season’s most sophisticated tables.

Palma was designed to live loudly and layer beautifully. These nineteen table designs, masterfully styled by Rafanelli Events, are at their best when mixed with intention and a little abandon. Pair florals against geometrics, texture against bold color, ritual against ease. The result will be a celebration that reminds everyone why gathering together around a beautiful table is one of life's greatest pleasures.
