Celebrate National Picnic Month with Dune Road Designs Dinnerware

Belvedere, CA – Party planners and hosts-with-the-most wanting a beautiful and functional accompaniment to their meals this summer will find it with Dune Road Designs.

Dune Road Designs (http://www.duneroaddesigns.com/) is the brainchild behind friends Alisa Bekins, Denise Burkard, and Elizabeth Canady. In 2009, this women-owned business began with a simple idea: to produce dinnerware that celebrates life by the water. Named after a road in the Hamptons, a famous beach destination in Long Island, New York, the company maintains its nautical theme while branching out into style products for the home.

“Talking over a glass of wine two years ago, we decided to create a company and a product line that fit who we are – women who love travel, food, and entertaining – and in turn, who our customers are,” said Bekins, Dune Road Design’s “Skipper.” “Whether on deck, by the beach or at your kitchen table, our dinnerware fits your lifestyle.”

“Since introducing Dune Road Design’s dinnerware to our customers, we’re hearing rave reviews,” said Kelly Erickson, owner of Citrus gift boutique, located in Tiburon, Calif. “Not only is it a stand out design at a reasonable price, but on first inspection, most believe it’s real china. The quality and customer service is impressive.”
