Stewardess’ Pick of the Month from RIALTO LIVING - Our favourite lifestyle store in Palma
Photos © Sofia Winghamre Owners escape to their yachts to get away from it all, to trade their busy lives and frenetic businesses for the kind of peace and calm only life 30nm-offshore can offer. No phone reception, no noise and the only decisions that need to be made concern the really crucial matters, like whether to go ashore for lunch or not, or what wine to enjoy with dinner ;) Although your ultra-attentive hostessing skills cover all the bases, the yacht’s ambiance and interior also play a part in achieving that home-away-from home feel. You know, the kind of spaces that entice guests – or yacht owners – to read, relax, snooze, or indeed sprawl out on the sofa and succumb to the latest Netflix sensation. However, many superyacht interiors feature ‘cold’ materials such as stainless steel, marble or Corian, so incorporate some soft furnishings like throws and blankets to add instant warmth and transform a saloon or cabin from sterile cold to cozy-chic.
If you’re looking for a stylish and velvety-soft throw, lifestyle store Rialto Living has just the thing. Although we love all the luxury blankets and throws casually draped on the shop’s sofas and chairs, we have a soft spot for their Begg & Co collection. Scotland-based Begg & Co have been making beautiful blankets, wraps and throws since 1866. Their wares are handmade using the finest cashmere and lambswool angora yarns and are heavenly to the touch, not to mention difficult to part from once snuggled up inside. What’s more, the cloth is pummelled, an old artisan tradition, which results in an even softer handfeel. Other favourites include covers made by French ‘Maison de Vacances’. This stylish Bohemian brand offers feathery throws in a delicious range of colours, like cerise and emerald.
Rialto Living, conveniently located on Calle Sant Feliu 3, is just a stone’s throw away from Palma’s STP and sells a wide selection of eye-catching super yacht must-haves. Have a snoop around and see for yourself. And if you
