Pool Buoy is here to transport you to an era of posh poolside parties where high society, aristocracy and quirky characters intermingled to discuss the important topics of the week. A time where great parties were hosted poolside and one consumed smoked salmon and old-fashioned cocktails, all served dutifully by the house employed Pool Boy – you see what we did right?

Fast forward to 2020, a year where we definitely need an injection of fun, and your Pool Buoy’s right here wearing a breezy outfit, and – wouldn’t ya know it – they’re just in time for cocktail hour.

Pool Buoy was founded by Rae Maxwell, owner and creative director of interiors and furniture design brand Barnaby Lane.

With a young family and being a 'big kid' she constantly found fun in kiddie alternatives over summer - inflatable pools, slip and slides, the simple garden hose and sprinkler even gets a run! Having three summer babies she'd often host inflatable pool parties.

Owning and creating Barnaby Lane, an Aussie interior and furniture design brand got her thinking - why are there not any stylish, and well made inflatable pools in the market? Add in a case of Covid house fever* (*not a real thing), dreaming of the Italian holiday they'd just forfeited and you have a creative melting pot for someone who needs an outlet. After all, we all need a bit of fun at the moment!

Dive in. Just not head first!
