Go alfresco

Taking inspired design to the great outdoors.

LANDSCAPE DESIGNER William Dangar (pictured with Belle interior design editor Lucy Mccabe) says, “When specifying any outdoor furniture, pots or accessories I always like to follow the same principles. The most important element is scale. There is nothing worse than furniture that is undersized. I also like to use contrasting materials. For example, if I am working on stone surfaces I often prefer timber furniture. On a deck surface I would usually specify metal and stone products. Where possible I also like to use Australian-made products. I am a huge fan of Gordon and Susan Tait’s products and they are major supporters of the Australian design scene as well. Favourite pieces at the moment are the Tait ‘Trace’ range by Adam Goodrum. I also love the Roda range of fine timber products mixed with current fabric colours and textures.
