Summer is in the air and everything feels lighter as the turn of the season brings so many advantages. We can look forward to longer days, balmy evenings and that sun-kissed feeling. Moods are lifted and we spend more time out and about and of course soaking up the rays.

We recently enjoyed some poolside talks with industry Guru, Marcia Margolius as we wanted to gain her expert opinion on our Siesta Exclusive range of pool loungers. Marcia has over 3 decades of experience in the décor and design industry. She is a qualified designer and decorator and is a member of The South African Institute of the Interior Design Professions (IID).

Her writing career began in 1994, and her writing credits to date include Create a Stylish Home, Skep ‘n Tuis met Styl, Leef Ruimtes, Living Spaces, Bed and Bath, Kitchen and Dining, as well as SA Décor & Design The Buyers Guide (published annually). A regular contributor to a number of interior magazines and exhibitions, she is frequently interviewed on radio and television.

This year we are proud to feature in Marcia’s 24th Edition of SA Décor & Design as well as on the new website with an online directory. @Marcialovesit continues to inspire and bring the latest industry trends curated for our enjoyment. See what she had to say about our Siesta Exclusive Lounger:

“The Slim Pool Lounger is all about those beautifully formed curves. Its streamlined look is not only eyecatching but will also add to the aesthetic of a modern garden or outdoor entertainment area.

Furthermore, this pool lounger is made of durable weather-resistant resin which means you won't have to worry about it after hours and hours outdoors. The non-metallic frame has been created to never unravel, rust or decay. In addition, the lounger is UV protected which insures the colours will not fade. This makes it the ideal choice for outdoor use. We can already imagine curling up on this beauty while the family enjoys some downtime at the pool this summer!

But these are not its only features! The Slim lounger is also stackable and comes with hidden wheels and anti-slippery rubbers. This means a very sturdy seat that you can move and stack when not in use. But with this beauty beckoning you to come and enjoy the summer sunshine, we're pretty certain that you'll be spending a lot more time outdoors this season! Add one (or three) poolside for added fun and relaxation at home this summer.”
