Al Fresco Dining: Our Summer Picks

The sun is just about shining, the summer dresses are out and that only means one thing - time for a little al fresco dining. With the long, lazy summer days finally here, we can't wait to get planning the most fabulous of garden parties and we've got plenty of tableware delights to make your al fresco soirees utterly divine. Discover our finest al fresco dining picks below.

The Placemat

 Is there anything more summery than some classic striped pieces? Our colour block Raya Woven Placemats in Mulberry are a chic addition to any al fresco table and a delightfully symmetrical base to start off your tablescape. Designed in collaboration with Collagerie, there's no doubt that these woven beauties will be the talk of the table.

The Bowl

 When summer comes calling it's time to reach for the bright pops of colour - it's the best way to put a smile on all your guests' faces and liven up the culinary offering. We are loving the Crimson & Gold Boyacá Bowls for this, plus the bold border keeps in line with the striped theme.

The Napkin Rings

 Another delight from our Collagerie collaboration collection: the Hoja Woven Napkin Rings. With a unique 3 leaf design these delicate rings add some texture and pizzazz to a crisp white linen napkin. Choose from co-ordinating Mulberry (to match the placemats) or be brave & clash with the Raspberry hue instead.

The Plate

 Nothing screams sunshine & joy more than our Lemon Liliana Ceramics. Hand crafted and hand painted in Carmen De Viboral, these sturdy ceramics are a showcase of Colombia's exquisite craftsmanship and available in both larger and smaller sizes.

The Glasses

With lightweight textures coming from the woven placemats & bowls, it's time to add a heavier feature with the glassware. Our Handblown Glass Tumblers are perfect for everyday drinking and just as divine for serving up summer cocktails in the garden. Opt for the transparent shade, so as not to overwhelm your table.
