With the Chelsea Flower Show having just finished, the Chelsea Fringe in full swing, the sun putting in the odd appearance and GROW London just around the corner, it’s the perfect time to think about sprucing up your garden. Here are some of the chicest tables and chairs to be found at the moment.
COLOUR-POP TABLE TOP
We love this Bellevie Table from Barbed! A fun, modern design coupled with bright, vibrant colour options makes this an ideal dining table for the contemporary garden. Eight to ten people can comfortably fit around it, so there’s plenty of space for those summer barbecues, and as it’s made from electro-zinc coated solid steel, it will wear well against the British weather.
AESTHETIC OVALS
This beautiful outdoor dining table is Gaze Burvill’s Broadwalk Oval Dining Table. Available in three different sizes (seating 10, 12 or 14) it’s perfect for large gatherings of friends and family, and the rotating granite centrepiece means everyone can reach the ketchup!
CLASSIC CONTEMPORARY
For those who like to mix classic and contemporary design, we think this Croisette Table from Unopiù ticks all the boxes! The geometric base structure lends the table a strong edge, while the teak wood will suit any garden space. You could also opt for a glass tabletop, and Unopiù’s huge range of outdoor seating allows you to mix and match for your perfect table and chair combo.
URBAN LOUNGING
Bring a bit of boutique hotel chic to your garden with this Dedon Slim Line set from Leisure Plan. Its understated design means it looks as good poolside as on an urban roof terrace, as here.
MODERN MINIMALIST
This Viteo Slim Minimalist dining set from Encompass Co is chic, elegant and ideal if you like to keep things simple. Using high quality materials and ergonomic shapes, this sleek set has been built to ensure comfort, as well as a clean design.
AU NATURAL
For something handcrafted and entirely unique, these beautiful pieces made by Marnie Moyle of Green Oak Furniture are just the thing. All are made from un-seasoned timber, and as the tannin found in oak is a natural preservative, you don’t need to maintain the furniture or hide it away during the winter months. A fabulous, natural no-maintenance option.
DESIGN JUNKIE
Qui est Paul’s ISO outdoor table and chairs are the ultimate in contemporary design. The beauty of this set lies in the concept: structured, strong pieces made with minimal material thickness.
