Eat, sleep, dine and entertain in the best possible taste

Take a leaf out of Crate and Barrel’s book, by using garden greens to liven up a simple wooden dining table. Juxtaposing coloured metal with natural materials is one of this year’s hottest trends and is amazingly effective at bringing fresh outdoor tones into your dining space.

Trust the fabulous Nendo design team to come up with a sofa that looks just as relaxed as you do

when you sit on it. Made for Moroso, the Zabuton is a reworking of the traditional Japanese version

of a !oor cushion or futon, wrapped around a steel frame. We adore it.

David Rockwell’s esoteric POD fabric for Jim Thompson textiles echoes the pattern of seeds in a pod when it’s freshly cut, creating little luminous

pools of light in six different colourways. Printed on linen it’s the perfect instant update for the season.

If you harbour a wistful longing to live shoreside in fabulous taste, then spend a while perusing a

coffee table book to inspire some creative visualisation. This beautiful edition by husband-

wife team Annie Kelly and Tim Street-Porter is full of covetable homes to get you started.

Metallics are destined to be a key trend right through into 2013. This beauty, that takes itTTs inspiration from the

silhouettes of the 1950s with shiny gold trim and buttons, will add a touch of

luxury retro charm to a classic or urban abode. Our order is already in.

We’re utterly smitten with the Rive Droite Cabinet designed by Christophe Pillet for Ceccotti Collezioni. Fashioned in rich, American walnut, it has two doors and six drawers, giving it both beauty, functionality and versatility in your home.

Fabio Bortolani and Ermanno Righi’s smart new tables for Serralunga re!ect the trend for objects that work just as well indoors as they do out. Depending on what "nish you choose; basic with a natural look

or a more sophisticated lacquered version, your occasional table has a slot for magazines and books that will be an invaluable prop in the living room, and

can stay in the garden all year round.

We’re popping with excitement at all the new ‘universal’ pieces being launched this

year, like Serralunga’s domestic, all-weather Charlotte chair. Simple, pretty,

easy and functional, it’s equally at home at the dining table as it is on the patio or in the of"ce. Designed by the seemingly

ubiquitous Christophe Pillet, it’s destined to be a future classic.

Gandia Blasco really is a brand for all seasons. Their low slung Luna armchair and

table setting rocks the simple, minimalist vibe that compliments an all-white colour scheme in your winter garden or indoor-

outdoor spaces.

The Barrique collection of side and coffee tables by Marco Cocco for Re!ex come in curved

extra-clear glass, or in our favourite hot shades of stone and mustard - the perfect

accompaniment to winter in the desert.
