The Great Outdoors

Outdoor dining has just been given a chic-over thanks to the launch of the 'Alfresco' range by Japanese tableware brand. The series comprises a mug, tumbler, two plates, bowl, spoon and fork and is available in a series of understated, earthy colours. Designed by Shin Azumi, they are made with a melamine and bamboo fibre mix that gives the collection a tactile feel with a lovely matte finish.

Not just easy on the eye, they are also stackable and easy to carry.
