Midday in summer is the perfect time to retreat indoors to your private study to read, write letters and simply chill out. For the freshest accessories start with cool shades of green—Kate Spade stationery, a leafy throw pillow from Terra Cottage and a Louis Vuitton ballpoint pen. Settle into a crisp white Victoria Hagan Wainscott wing chair from Ainsworth-Noah, then open your macassar ebony, Ruhlmann-inspired desk lined in suede from Manheim-Ruseau, a new find from the Atlanta Decorative Arts Center. Now that’s top-drawer!
