01 The Exquisite Summer Foreword The Revealing Season Summer transforms the interiors, bringing brightness and vibrant energy. The intense rays of morning light brings every corner to life, while nature becomes part of the furnishings. The colours of flowers, fruits, and early harvests dress up the house. The brightest season is able to awaken talents and visions. Handcrafted ceramics are painted with natural pigments, while materials such as fossil wood, mother-of-pearl, toasted rattan, Indian silver, horn, and bone adorn the tables and transform the moment of conviviality into an act of extreme beauty. Sharing abundance, preciousness, and glorifying craftsmanship is the way that Abhika has always walked. The new Beth sofa is designed to offer a space always suitable for guests, creating a versatile corner of the house which is decorative but also great for reading or resting, customizable both in fabrics and details. A fun touch is Abhika’s new mascot, the poodle Sassy, inspired by Tim Walker’s imagery. A small tribute to one of Abhika’s favourite artists. To celebrate in the most glorious way any endless summer sunset, what better way than mixing a cocktail or a Spritz in the most typical Italian fashion? Here follows the perfect Spritz recipe by the master mixologist Gianluca Gaudenzio. INGREDIENTS - Aperol 60 ml - Prosecco 90 ml - Soda water - Green olive Add ice into a cocktail glass until is nearly full, first pour in the Aperol, then the right amount of Prosecco. Top your drink with just a splash of soda water and drown a green olive in it. Garnish with an orange wedge. For some variation, use Campari instead of Aperol, or ½ Aperol and ½ Campari.
