The dog days yapping at our heels, we asked designers, "What's keeping you cool this summer, whether it's furnishings, technology, food, or drink?"

"Fresh-made rosemary vodka lemonade and Jay-Z's Young Forever."
-Heather Tierney of Group Goetz Architects

"Sailing the Mediterranean, off the coast of Corsica." -Richard Shemtov of Dune

"Minimizing stress and celebrating, at day's end, with an ice-cold martini."
-Tim Croneberger of Halcyon Design

"The beaches in West­hampton, New York, which inspired my Dune and Dune Road wallpapers."
-Stacy Garcia

"Sharing grilled fruit and veggies with friends around my eco-friendly dining table in glass, steel, and boards of reclaimed sorghum straw." -Laura Birns of Laura Birns Design Eco-Furnishings
