Recently uncovered Net-A-Porter's Italian tableware assortment, ideal for lavish summer entertaining events
Transform your summer garden parties into a celebration of Italian charm with Net-A-Porter's Italian-inspired tableware collection. This curated selection brings the spirit of Italy to your table, offering warmth, character, and intentional detail.
The Italian tablescape is characterized by vibrant glassware, hand-painted ceramics, and crisp linens. Vibrant glassware and hand-painted ceramics, such as the artisan-made ceramic bowl with a subtle rippled base and fluted rim, add authentic Italian charm and a splash of colour to your table.
The smaller ribbed glasses from L'Objet, with their hand-cut grooves, and the elegant teacups handcrafted in Athens and finished with a lovely glaze, add a playful yet elegant touch fitting for summer hosting.
Crisp linen tablecloths and napkins, like the Lake Como linen napkins that provide a vibrant pop of colour, lend an airy, fresh feel to complement the bold colours and patterns.
To create a warm, character-filled tablescape, consider mixing modernist pieces with vintage-inspired accessories. The side plate from Completedworks, a one-of-a-kind, handblown piece using recycled glass, is a perfect example.
Styling an Italian-inspired tablescape is not just about the tableware. Incorporate fresh produce as part of the decoration, such as bunches of grapes, tomatoes, or figs, enhancing the Mediterranean vibe. Isabelle Buckland suggests this approach, making your table a feast for the eyes as well as the stomach.
For a minimalist look, consider highlighting the quality and form of the tableware with an all-white table. Alternatively, go maximalist by layering coloured and patterned linens alongside abundant flowers for a lively, festive look, as advocated by J.J. Martin.
Net-A-Porter's Italian edit offers unique investment pieces for statement homeware. La DoubleJ, for instance, provides Italian linen with a blue and white colour palette and floral design. The Italian table is associated with gathering and celebration, and this edit serves as an ideal starting point for a Mediterranean style summer garden party theme.
As you perfect your summer pasta recipes to serve with this Italian-inspired tableware, remember that the key is combining colourful, artisanal items with natural elements to truly embody an Italian summer garden party ambiance. So, get ready to host unforgettable gatherings this summer, Italian style!
