A summer table does not need a full restyle between late brunch and early evening drinks. With a few thoughtful pieces, the setting can move naturally with the day. Think glass that catches the sun, soft bowls for sharing and small plates that invite everyone to stay a little longer.
A fresh and easy start
Begin with a calm, light base. Bowl Lav, Flad and Bolle bring soft shapes to the table, making everyday food feel more considered. Use them for fruit, bread, salads or small bites, depending on the moment.

Glassware with a summer glow
Glass changes the atmosphere instantly. The hammered glass in Banana Palm adds colour, reflection and a playful summer feeling without overpowering the table. Add spritz glasses when the afternoon slowly turns into aperitivo hour.

Small bites for slow moments
As brunch becomes evening drinks, the styling can feel more relaxed. The snack plate is perfect for olives, dips, nuts or light summer bites. It makes the table feel generous, without needing to be full.

One table, two moods
Keep the same base and shift the rhythm. Fresh flowers, fruit and soft glassware feel perfect for brunch. Later, add candlelight, cold drinks and a few extra plates for sharing. The transition should feel effortless, not planned.
