Melbourne, Dinner with Friends

 

Table dressed for an Autumn dinner using IN BED Natural linen tablecloths and linen napkins in Pine and Khaki.

Ahead of our residency in Melbourne last week we held a dinner with friends in Melbourne. We shared a family-style meal of autumnal produce, which was orchestrated by our friends at Merchant Rd and headed by chef Ella Mittas.
