Inspired by Portuguese sunsets and countryside, Laetitia Rouget’s stoneware plates and platters in vibrant shades of red, pink and blue can be mixed and matched for a relaxed yet exuberant setting, while Bordallo Pinheiro’s playful tomato and artichoke dishes add to the holiday mood. What’s more, all the pieces in this edit are heavy and durable, making them perfect for everyday use.  

We love Les-Ottomans' hand-painted and hand-crafted designs, especially the shell plates, which you can layer on elegant white plates by Brunello Cucinelli for your simple seafood starters – spring crab salad with broad beans and shaved vegetables, perhaps?  

Accessorise with sandy-coloured napkins by Soho Home and a peach and gin sangria or two, served in Vista Alegre’s sea-evoking textured glassware.  

Here, we’ve paired Prada and Fendi for an instant hit of Italian high-fashion sophistication. Though boldly patterned, the pieces themselves are fine and delicate, ensuring your setting feels elegant and luxurious.
