Unforgettable Table Settings

01 NAKED AMBITION

A good piece of furniture deserves to be seen. Many savvy entertainers are ditching traditional table dressings and opting for statement dining tables instead. A table like the LC6 is one that looks best naked. First designed in 1929, the table’s utilitarian structure and glamorous top made the piece quite controversial.

The passing of time has done nothing to detract from the contemporary feel of the Carrara marble tabletop. When dressing a naked table, consider plates with metallic detailing and opt for pared back cutlery for timeless, glistening results. chaplins.co.uk

02 AUSTRALIANA

There’s nothing better than a bunch of natives to liven up an outdoor table setting. Bonnie & Neil has taken this notion and run with it, designing the glorious Wattle terracotta tablecloth. Screen-printed by hand, the oat linen pieces are made to order in Melbourne, meaning each is slightly different and highly unique. Wearing beautiful Aussie blooms, like the banksia, each tablecloth is underpinned by soft floral patterns and the sepia tones add depth to the textiles. “Style this design with matching napkins or choose complementary patterns and colours for your table setting,” advises a spokesperson for Bonnie & Neil. “We like to mix and match our tabletop products in contrasting colours for more impact.” bonnieandneil.com.au
