Summer and outdoor entertaining go hand in hand, so why not take inspiration from our latest collections? From must-have stoneware to the perfect finishing touches, we have everything you need to make any occasion effortless
A true Summer textile, you can’t go wrong with washed linen for your base layer – crisp white is the perfect blank canvas to build upon. For a minimalist look, opt for matching napkins, or play with subtle color and introduce petal pinks, or charcoal grays
Oversized bowls and serving boards in deep black hues bring sophistication to any table and create a striking contrast with bright linen, while a rattan tray, or fruit bowl, adds a textured touch
It’s impossible to host a Summer celebration without a refreshing tipple, or two. From generous G&T glasses and cocktail jugs made for sharing to traditional tumblers and coupes, toast the season in style. We’ll leave the cocktail menu up to you…
Whether you’re planning a formal affair, or something more relaxed, we have just the thing. Our seat pads – in plain gray and striped designs – fit perfectly on dining chairs, while our scatter cushions were made for lounging alfresco
Now that all the essentials are covered, it’s time to take your tablescape to new heights. Embrace Moroccan influences with beautiful, cutwork lanterns. Place varying sizes along the table, or hang them on crooks around the garden. Candlelight will instantly set the mood
