Under the Shade of Masters
At Midsummer, we are surrounded by art — because we live in Italy, where beauty, history, and craftsmanship are part of everyday life. This environment shapes our mindset and informs the way we design objects: with care, meaning, and timeless elegance.
This summer, we began a visual project called "Download the Dream" — a series of illustrations reimagining our luxury Italian mattresses through the lens of great painters. From Rousseau’s jungles to Renoir’s gardens, from Magritte’s sky-filled rooms to the intimate quiet of Vermeer, each image is a dream in which design and imagination meet.
Why do we do this? Because a Midsummer bed isn’t just a place to sleep. It is a space to inhabit with body and mind. A frame for thoughts. A pause in color and shape. Each illustration shows how our mattresses link bedroom art to wellbeing.
We invite you to explore the full gallery. All images are available in high resolution, downloadable for your personal inspiration.
Each work is a miniature journey. As you wander the gallery, notice how the palette mirrors the natural rhythms that guide our craft.
What’s next
In the coming weeks, we’ll continue our journey through these artworks, pairing them with reflections on rest, beauty, and Italian savoir-faire.
Until then, we wish you long afternoons, light linen, and a moment of meriggiare. Talk to our artisans about bespoke luxury Italian mattresses today.
