meet the latest addition to my kitchen: the new stilt collection from lsa international.

elevated on wooden stilts, this clever stackable collection of mouth-blown glass and porcelain serving pieces and decorative accessories sit atop natural ash stands that can be handily stacked in a number of combinations, creating versatile and highly functional serving options for dinner parties, evening soirees – even picnics!

sleek, elegant and pared down, i love the aesthetic of this lovely new collection plus it’s space-saving credentials make it a real winner in my book. our kitchen table is tiny – and an actual dining room non-existent in our little london flat – so we decamped into the garden for an impromptu picnic utilising the new range; the little stilts are perfect for ensuring your picnic spread is kept up off the ground and away from any pesky crawling insects (the bane of picnics everywhere, right?)

the trio of bowls are perfect for dips or summer fruits, while the oblong platters provide beautiful presentation canvasses for canapes, sushi, even traditional english picnic sandwiches and sausage rolls! when not in use the collection stacks handily away in a cupboard, but i couldn’t bring myself to relegate the beautiful cheese dome into storage. it looks wonderful sat atop the kitchen dresser as a display unit for precious knick-knacks; in my case a malin+goetz mojito candle, champagne cork from my 30th birthday, floridita coaster from my time in havana, and beautiful gold teaspoons from zara home.

what about you; are you loving the new lsa collection as much as me?

my collection picks: 1. cheese dome 2. trio bowls 3. champagne bucket 4. vase / lantern / tealight holder 5. toast rack
