Dreams are one thing, reality another – still, there is something endearingly audacious about the scope of this singular piece of furniture. Imagine yourself carried by a trio or so of minions, or floating with your lover out on the open water in a luxurious modern cabana. This minimalist outdoor daybed by Gandia Blasco may not actually provide you with the above experiences, but hey, you can dream.

Does it really matter whether the real experience resembles this fantasy, though? Because the Italian manufacturer’s luxurious reclining loungers are truly practical in their own right, glitzy marketing images aside. Just look at these cabanas gleaming on the surface of a swimming pool in some faraway playground for the rich. You can’t deny that these modern pool furniture designs are serious #vacationgoals. You can almost feel the warmth of the sun reflecting off that glittering water as you picture yourself chilling inside with a frozen adult beverage.
