Jamie Oliver teams with Hartman to launch garden furniture range

Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver, known for his love of cooking al fresco, has teamed up with leading garden furniture company Hartman to launch a 2012 range of garden furniture, including a must-have fire pit set.

The Jamie Oliver Fire Pit Set is a stylish low cast aluminum table with an integral fire pit at its centre. This can be loaded with barbecue coals for cooking with, or wood for keeping warm when the sun goes down.

Alternatively, the fire pit can be swapped for an ice bucket to keep the drinks chilled.

Offering the complete solution for any outdoor occasion and perfectly complementing the Hartman ethos of 'Enjoy Every Moment', the Jamie Oliver Fire Pit Set comes with four deep-seated easy chairs in a contemporary caramel colour.

New to the Jamie Oliver range for 2012 is a six seat formal dining set with integrated ice bucket. As with the Jamie Oliver Fire Pit Set, it comes in a contemporary bronze cast aluminum and the dining chairs have a thick caramel cushion.

Completing Hartman's Jamie Oliver range are a sun lounger and a deep-seated sofa bench, which seats two or three depending on how cosy you want to get! Again, both are made from bronze cast aluminum and with caramel cushions. 

The full Jamie Oliver range is completely weatherproof (just keep the cushions somewhere dry if not in use), practical and lightweight thanks to its cast aluminum construction.

It will be available from leading retailers from spring 2012, retailing from around £350 for a lounger to £1199.99 for the fire pit set. Stockist details can be found at hartmanuk.com.
