01 THAT’S AMORE

The secret to perfectly crisp Neapolitan-style pizza at home? The Röshults BBQ Wood Oven by Swedish design studio Broberg & Ridderstråle. This contemporary Scandi take on a wood-burning stove replete with on-point arch takes pie-making to gourmet-league.

02 DINNER IS SERVED

When it comes to wood for garden furnishings, teak is de rigueur. But leave it to renowned architect and designer Piero Lissoni to come up with a novel reinterpretation of the wood. Offering a traditional-cum-modern aesthetic, his Levante dining table for Roda features an airy wide- slatted top that appears to float above the legs supporting it. Available in two sizes: 223 x 100 centimetres (88 x 39 inches); 300 x 100 centimetres (118 x 39 inches). Price upon request. rodaonline.com

03 THAT’S A WRAP

Carried exclusively by online retailer Nordic Nest, the brand’s first collection, Shapes, showcases unfussy, practical tableware in fine porcelain and feel-good cozy textiles. Our favourite is the Metric throw, in jacquard-weave soft recycled cotton, its dreamy sunset-hued geometric pattern visible on both sides. $199. nordicnest.com

 

04 BIG FAN

The 12-blade design of the Windflower fan (your choice of 60-inch or 80-inch blades) evokes the iconic windmills of Holland. Don’t be fooled by the old-world connection.

06 ON THE ROPES

Architect-turned-industrial designer Marcello Ziliani is a master at marrying classic forms with natural materials. Witness the Kilt dining chair — organic rope double- woven onto a sculptural frame of FSC-certified teak equals ergonomic comfort and understated elegance. Introduced by Ethimo in 2017, Kilt is releasing two new rich colours — Olive Green and Ruby Wine — inspired by the Mediterranean. Available also with a pickled teak or stainless steel frame.
