Floor story

Take inspiration from supper clubs where the backdrop is as

important as the food. A long table set low on the ground is

the ideal setting for convivial and more casual get-togethers.

Construct your own by suspending a panel of wood on stacks

of bricks, then covering with a cloth. Instead of chairs, use

cushions that match the colours on your table – try Garden

Trading and Oka for outdoor-friendly designs. Line up sharing

platters and generously filled serving bowls (the utensils on

page 109 will come in handy here!) alongside cold drinks

decanted into pretty glass bottles – recycle your own or try

The Contemporary Home and Sophie Conran. Instead of proper

china, use enamel tableware, as it’s light, stackable and kinder

to the planet than some other picnicware. The range at Falcon

comes in a variety of shapes, sizes and colours.
