Outdoor eating made stylish with these design staples
TRADITIONAL DESIGN
Cox & Cox
If you prefer to keep your picnic free from inevitable grass, or simply don’t want to travel further than the patio, then look no further than Cox & Cox’s one-piece aluminum picnic table. Sleek and practical, it’s a fun twist on the traditional design. £795
CUTLERY COLOUR
Cable and Cotton
Brighten up any grey picnic day (likely in Britain) with Cable and Cotton’s colourful cutlery and plates. Their gorgeous raffia and leather baskets are a stylish and different way to transport snacks.
LUXURY LIVING
Nisi Living
Nisi Living truly lives up to its slogan of ‘live more Meditteranean’. Their gorgeous collection of acrylic tableware that looks like crystal is a luxury living look at an affordable price. Check out their lovely collection of ice buckets, smart tumblers and enormous pitchers (whether they’re filled with wine or water is up to you).
UP ON DECK
Thornback & Peel
When choosing a deckchair it’s important to go bold, and that’s exactly what Thornback & Peel have done, featuring fun prints and bright colours on their iconic deckchairs. We love this ship in a bottle design.
PATTERNED DINING
Rice DK
If you must dine from floral patterns but don’t want to risk the prized porcelain, Rice DK’s plastic tableware is the gorgeous (and durable) alternative. We love this colourful coffee thermos and set of bowls – perfect for a picnic breakfast, lunch or dinner.
