Pretty-hued buildings standing sentry-like around the harbour. Yachts bobbing invitingly on the glistening water. Chic, unhurried people gamboling towards aperitivo hour. The unruffled Italian Riviera is a byword for pleasure and style. Whether we spend the summer poking around the Cinque Terra or not, we can at least bring a little bit of Italian sunshine and elegant panache back home to enjoy – while dreaming of our next sojourn to that twinkling coastline, of course.

At The Table
On the riviera, when you’re not floating gently on the sun-dappled waters, by rights you should be sitting around a rustic but chic and always convivial table. These pieces for the tabletop are almost enough to make us believe we’re feasting in the Cinque Terre. Almost.
Take It Al Fresco
If ever there was a moment to decamp you whole life outside, it is now. Channel the spirit of la dolce vita in your garden or, indeed, on a picnic in your local park with these chic buys. Ideally with the scent of lemons on the breeze.
