As the temperature climbs and the days lengthen, we’re looking forward to the joyful flurry of outdoor events and summer soirees that define the summer season. Whether you’re hosting a relaxed garden party, dressing up for cocktails and canapés, or just need an excuse to make the most of your garden, our latest garden accessories and homeware designs have everything you need for an outdoor bash. Welcome to the summer of fun...

To the table  

Whether you’re cooking for family or catching up with friends to gather and graze, set the scene with tableware that captures that holiday-at-home feeling. The Buon Appetito collection is a feast of juicy design details that transports you to the Amalfi coast, using hand-painted fruit motifs and bright, zesty glazes. Hero pieces include the show-stopping Lola vase, olive oil bottle and serving dishes, all embracing a laidback summer energy.

Summer sipping

Whether it’s spritz o’clock or sparkling water with lime time, create a drinks station with glassware, barware, drinks and garnishes so your guests can make their own drinks. Choose embossed fruit tumblers, cocktail punch jugs or colour-block goblets to give your ice-cold pour some extra style points. Orange spritz goblets and limoncello shot glasses join the collection ready for standout summer sipping, best served with sunshine and blue skies.

Outdoor oasis

Throws, cushions and garden furniture help create a relaxed outdoor setting, with inviting places to perch and enjoy the weather. Scatter padded seat cushions and rugs on the grass for casual seating that brings a pop of colour and pattern, or add rattan garden bar stools as an easy-going place for drinks, chatting and grazing. As the sun sets and the temperature dips, a handy scattering of blankets ensures everyone can stay comfortable and enjoy the summer evening for longer.
