Outdoor moments

1st Moment… Morning - The Slow Opening

For beautifully slow summer mornings, we embraced a palette of natural tones and relaxed neutrals, inspired by the easy rhythm of outdoor living at a beachside retreat.

For breakfast alfresco, it all begins with the tablecloth — the element that sets the tone for the entire gathering. From there, the choice of napkins, mugs, and plates introduces contrast, softness, and color, allowing the table to unfold naturally through layers of texture and tone.

2nd Moment… Midday - Alfresco tables for Lunch

Setting the table for lunch on sunny days is often guided by mood — by the atmosphere you want to create and the feeling you want to evoke. At COSTA NOVA, different collections invite a variety of expressions, allowing the table to shift effortlessly between relaxed simplicity and more layered, expressive settings.

Bright and colorful

For a vibrant, expressive lunch setting, begin with a white wooden table as your base to allow the colours to stand out. Layer the Rafaela and Summer Bliss collections to introduce contrast and energy through their tonal variations.. Add white Marian linen napkins for softness and balance, folded simply to maintain an effortless feel, and complete the setting with Marisa glassware and Mito flatware for a clean, understated touch.

3rd Moment… Night - The Porch Dinner

Dinner on the porch begins as daylight softens into amber. Start by layering tablecloths for depth and ease, then add organic centrepieces that feel naturally gathered. Introduce candles gradually as evening falls, allowing their glow to emerge softly across the table. Dining alfresco calls for a balance of casual formality — composed, yet effortless.
