As you bask luxuriously on a Millennial pink daybed you look up to admire the palm fronds that shade you from the unbearable summer sun. But these are no average leaves: they are the metal renditions, painted in the same brilliant hue as the bed on which you lay. Perhaps it’s this idea of serenity and shelter—and the show-stopping color—that has earned Los Angeles-based Franco-Italian artist [Marc Ange’s](https://www.instagram.com/marc.ange/?hl=en) _Le Refuge_ the title of “Most Instagrammed Piece of Milan Design Week.” Supported by a sleek teak base, the metal stems of the palm fronds shade the daybed from the harshness of the outside world, creating a secluded sanctuary.
