T.D.C: Styling for Baya Part One: Summer 2026 Outdoor Collection

Teaming up with Baya once again for their Summer 2026 campaign, we shot the new outdoor collection at the beautiful Haumoana House in Hawke’s Bay — a home designed by Glamuzina Architects and Studio AG D, with landscaping by Xanthe White Design. Set against a stunning landscape, the home’s natural palette and layered textures provided the perfect backdrop for styling the new season textile pieces.

The outdoor setting offered incredible scope, with each space opening to sweeping views and terraced gardens. I wanted to highlight the home’s dialogue between indoors and out, creating moments that felt authentic to the way we live and gather. Furniture choices complemented the warm, textural interior scheme, while Baya's layered textiles introduced depth, contrast, and relaxed comfort. The result was a series of scenes that captured the essence of slow, summer living.

Anchored by five distinct colour stories — Mangrove, Tobacco, Almond, Eucalyptus, and Steel Blue — Baya’s new collection brings an effortless sense of harmony to outdoor living. Each palette draws from nature, offering versatility and ease when styling. Whether layered in tonal combinations or mixed for subtle contrast, the pieces transform outdoor spaces with their handwoven textures, bringing an elevated interior quality to the outdoors.

Handcrafted from recycled plastic bottles, the collection unites durability, simplicity, and circular design principles. While not Baya’s first recycled PET range, it’s their most refined to date — each rug and cushion crafted entirely from post-consumer waste and transformed into tactile, enduring forms that are soft underfoot, robust, and made to last. These pieces bring comfort, depth, and ease to outdoor spaces, creating settings that invite both quiet moments and connection.
