Le Creuset's Newest Color Feels Like a Coastal Vacation
Easy, breezy, Bleu Riviera.
Le Creuset
Calling all beach, sea and water lovers! Le Creuset's new colorway is a must-have for anyone who savors the sea breeze and craves a coastline. Released in March, Riviera is a glossy, blue-green shade that's inspired by the sunlit afternoons and al fresco living of the Mediterranean coast.
According to the brand's website, the breezy, exuberant color is meant to "evoke the shimmer of sunlit waves and the effortless elegance of seaside living." Riviera features a subtle gradient effect, creating a feeling of movement — a feeling inspired by the changing tide. "Its luminous blue-green surface ripples with depth and dimension, while a classic gold knob adds a note of timeless refinement."
Though Riviera is a vibrant, bold shade, it's also super versatile. It would look great in a kitchen full of neutral or stainless steel cookware, or on a dining table dressed in bright hues. If you're staying close to home this summer, bring French Riviera vibes into your home with a piece from this new collection.
