The coming together of people around a table to share food, art, and culture is one of society's oldest traditions-a ritual as ancient as it is sacred. In the stillness of lockdown, homes became a canvas for expressing creativity and the age-old art of 'tablescaping' was revived as we found solace in the mundane. Disposable incomes had a new outlet-vases in organic shapes and texture, maximalist linens, coloured glass candlestick holders, and kitschy objects. The emergence of house-proud humans, along with the rise of social media, led jewellery designers to turn their attention to the world of interiors.
