Make sure your table not only accommodates the usual number of diners who are visiting but also offers enough space for various dishes and utensils, thus not cluttering the table. As barbecues and buffets become more popular over the summer months, an ample table will serve you well for such occasions. Seating that is not too heavy, is comfortable and durable, and which aesthetically complements the table it surrounds, is key to the perfect dining set.
These dining chairs from the Canasta range by B&B Italia were designed by internationally renowned designer Patricia Urquiola. The elegant chairs have a geometric woven pattern that has given the Canasta range iconic status, while the table comes with a porcelain stoneware or ceramic top with a steel frame. Available in selected outlets on the Costa del Sol (www.bebitalia.com).
