Strong Relationships

Enduring materials such as metals and gold are referencing the value and importance of the kitchen - the true heart of the home, where friends and family gather to share the harmony and warmth of the Festive Season.

- Dorothy Waldman

Kitchens that open to the other social venues of the home, such as the dining and lounging areas, create the perfect setting for holiday entertaining. Guests and hosts can mingle and move freely through welcoming spaces that are united by coordinated, lustrous design elements. Vital human relationships are referenced in the use of durable materials such as metal and stone - which are as practical as they are beautiful, whether found in kitchen islands or dining tables and chairs. Soften the hard surfaces with natural references and by incorporating personal holiday accoutrements that may range from sensuous hand-blown glass to quirky icons of the season. Sprinkle in some golden shine for celebratory cheer that knows no boundaries.

PARTY TABLES AND CHAIRS

Cement friendships and family relationships by gathering around tables constructed of materials that reflect the strength and durability of these vital human connections. Metal – whether in a shining holiday bright or subtly brushed, and perhaps combined with durable stone – provides a lasting foundation for holiday entertaining. Add sparkle with the shining joints of Artflex’s Match table, inspired by functional industrial shelving systems. Alternatively, go in a more subdued direction and connect to an earlier time with the cast iron table by Magis; or look forward, with the strong avant-garde bronze finishes of sturdy Cattelan Italia tables, softened with timeless round corners. Metallic influences continue with seating that is as inviting to the body as it is to the eye. The curvilinear lines of the Beugel chair by Cassina frame original graphics by illustrator Joost Swarte, while the Hideout by GTV envelops guests in a snowy landscape and woven cane. Furniture by Opera Contemporary will wrap your guests in festive green comfort.
