Dining Essentials: Foundation Pieces for the Table

Our Stories

Simple enough for everyday use, yet with a sophistication that lends itself to special occasions, our Tapas stoneware dining range is designed to form the foundation to any table setting.

Here, our Home styling team shares three ways to use the range to build inspiring dining experiences.

“The beauty of this range is that you can make a statement or it can be used for everyday dining. It’s beautiful, simple and made to last using quality materials.”

Everyday Dining

“Ideal for more casual settings, the Snow colourway is really fresh and allows the vibrancy of your food to shine through. Paired with fluted glassware, it creates a light, welcoming look that’s timeless in its simplicity.”

Elevated Occasions

In Pale Grey, the Tapas range creates more of an elevated dining experience, with sculptural elements such as stone and timber vases contributing to the contemporary look in this setting. Try experimenting with different elements of the table to create a modern look, such as shifting the tablecloth so that it sits off-centre. We’ve used silver cutlery, but you could easily use soft gold to elevate the setting further.

Statement Settings

An easy way to make a statement with your dining setting is to go with black. You can pare it back with timber for an elegantly rustic look, or dial it up with pieces in marble and unique stones. The matte finish is timeless and creates flexibility for playing with texture—add shine through cutlery, or choose materials such as timber to keep things soft and natural.
