Summer Stripes: Lisa Corti and the Romance of an Italian Summer
Summer Stripes: Lisa Corti and the Romance of an Italian Summer
Summer belongs to color.
It belongs to long lunches, open windows, striped tablecloths, flowers gathered without too much ceremony, and rooms that feel more alive because pattern has been allowed to enter.
For Lisa Corti, color is never an afterthought. It is the language of the collection. Born from a life shaped by travel, textiles, India, Italy, family houses, and the visual rhythm of everyday celebration, Lisa Corti’s work brings together saturated color, hand-block-inspired pattern, floral motifs, and bold linear stripes with unmistakable confidence.
At BON TON goods, we love Lisa Corti for the way her textiles change a room instantly. A tablecloth becomes the beginning of a summer dinner. A cushion adds warmth to an old chair. A quilt gives a bedroom the feeling of a house prepared for guests, flowers, and sunlight.
Her stripes feel especially right for the season. They have a Mediterranean clarity, graphic and joyful, yet softened by flowers, borders, and hand-drawn pattern. They bring to mind Italian terraces, garden tables, striped awnings, tiled floors, linen dresses, and late dinners by the water.
Color, Pattern & the Summer Table
There is something wonderfully direct about a Lisa Corti tablecloth. It does not wait politely in the background. It creates the atmosphere.
Placed beneath white ceramics, colored glass, candlelight, or a vase of seasonal flowers, the textile becomes the foundation of the table. Stripes give structure. Florals bring movement. Color brings joy.

New Arrivals from Lisa Corti
Our latest Lisa Corti arrivals bring together the pieces we love most for summer: vivid tablecloths, cushions, textiles, and decorative objects that make a room feel personal, layered, and ready for the season.
The beauty of Lisa Corti is that the pieces do not need to match perfectly. In fact, they are often strongest when mixed. Stripes with florals. Turquoise with coral. Green with pink. A patterned textile beside Astier de Villatte’s white glaze. A summer table set with contrast, memory, and pleasure.
A Mediterranean Mood
Lisa Corti’s textiles carry the feeling of summer without becoming nostalgic. They are bright, romantic, and full of energy, but they remain practical objects for everyday living.
They can be used for a weekday dinner, a midsummer gathering, a long weekend breakfast, or an improvised table in the garden. They are made for houses where things are used, moved, layered, and enjoyed.
That is what makes them so well suited to the BON TON world. They sit beautifully beside French ceramics, antique glass, handmade jewelry, painted furniture, and the collected objects of a life lived with curiosity.
Summer in Stripes
Stripes have always belonged to summer.
They recall beach umbrellas, market bags, deck chairs, sailcloth, towels drying in the sun, and the easy confidence of Italian interiors where color is never treated as a risk. In Lisa Corti’s hands, stripes become more than a motif. They become a way of bringing rhythm and life to the home.
Paired with floral borders and generous color, they offer one of the simplest ways to change a room for the season.
For summer dining, we would begin with a Lisa Corti tablecloth, add Astier de Villatte ceramics, bring in flowers, and let the rest unfold.
