Have a glamorous night in

In an age where meals are something that you grab on the go or are consumed on laps in front of the television, there is nothing so indulgent as gathering friends and family around the dinner table for a leisurely Sunday lunch or a raucous dinner party.

Sarah Ward, homeware designer and founder of the Posh Trading Company, knows just how precious meal times can be. With four adult children of her own and an ever growing extended family, she knows how important it is to have everyone in the same place for food and fun.

But a dining table large enough for the whole clan shouldn’t come at the expense of style!

"The Curve" ten seater dining table and chairs from her home range comes in a gorgeous walnut finish. The set is more than simply a piece of functional furniture; it's a statement piece in its own right.

Sarah and her team appreciate that meals should have a sense of occasion. Dinner parties are about more than just food; they are all about catching up with the people you love, sharing (and creating) memories, and usually involve indulging in just a little bit too much wine!

Naturally though, such special gatherings require an equally special seating arrangement. The throne-like chairs that surround the table add a sense of grandeur to the set. Each chair features a studded finish for a glamorous, yet understated, rock chic effect, while varying seat back sizes and shapes make for an interesting silhouette.

This eye-catching collection makes the whole set the perfect centrepiece to a room, even when it's not even being used (hey, we all need the odd evening cosied up on the sofa with a TV dinner!)

"The Curve" set is available from the POSH Trading Company at £17,916.67.
