1. Living area

Summer is synonymous with barbecues and BBQs with friends , or romantic dinners under the stars . A sturdy and functional table is essential for spending enchanting moments in the company of loved ones and good food. There are countless sizes and models available.

The key is to make choices that complement the style used for indoor living. Nardi offers models with clean, linear shapes for an unmistakable, elegant style and neutral tones , like the Rio Alu Extensible 210/280 table (bottom left - €1,622.60).

Leaving the house also means seeking contact with nature . Whether it's a garden, a terrace, or a balcony, the important thing is to surround yourself with greenery! Flowers and plants blend in with the decor and create a joyful atmosphere with their colors and scents. Using designer vases adds a refined and original touch to the garden, enhancing the plant elements. There are many shapes and sizes available. For those who love the elegance of traditional shapes , but without giving up a contemporary touch, Serralunga offers the Ming High Vase (on the right - 671.98 euros).
