Dedicated to Design… This summer, we embrace the hot new trend of Alfresco living. No longer reserved for fleeting summer days in southern France or Spain, this trend is set on redefining our outside spaces and turning them into elaborate meeting points that can be used all year round. Think outdoor sofas, outdoor kitchens, cosy fireplaces, bars, TVs and more. After all, Alfresco living is about making exterior spaces beautiful and useful, whatever the season.
