Alfresco living
With longer days and lighter evenings, it’s the perfect time to gather friends and family for entertaining outdoors. A combination of natural textures, glistening glassware, and sunshine bring table settings to life. If you don’t have suitable garden chairs, then simply bring your dining chairs outdoors. The key is in utilising flexible furniture with a slimmer silhouette – offering space to host a feast of drinks and nibbles but without it looking bulky.
