Who knew that the summer of 2020 would bring back the humble picnic? In accordance with pandemic protocols, park picnics are the new clubs. And we are so okay with that!
Stylist Nat Turnbull is totally fine with that too, leaning into the recent fashion for outdoor gatherings in a post-lockdown world by launching Laze – a new range of outdoor mats designed for perfect picnic style.
‘The idea came to me after our long lockdown in Melbourne,’ Nat says. ‘Outdoor time became so important, and picnics or outdoor outings became more and more popular with restrictions still in place.’ The dearth of design-led options for picnic gear spurred her to create Laze.
Nat collaborated with illustrator and friend, Alice Oehr, who brought her signature flair for colour to the designs. Woven from recycled plastic, the outdoor mats are easy to clean and perfectly durable for every environment – from sandy beaches to social park outings.
Nat is planning to release two collections with new designs per year.
