Cocktail hour

Zero proof or with a twist? Bar cart or cabinet? Even the simplest cocktails feel special when beautifully served. For merry mixers, have these on hand.

The holiday table

Our formula for the holidays: A runner, placemats, napkins and rings. Garnish with candles and a garland to instantly elevate your everyday dishes.

Serve it up

Keep things simple with kitchen-to-table platters, bowls and help-yourself utensils. Mix marble and wood, big and small. Make it personal, not perfect.

Trim the table

Layering is key to a curated look. Vary your taper heights, or mix tabletop trees in different materials. Brass, glass and candlelight always go together.

Easy upgrades

Make room for more with an extendable table and extra chairs, and don’t forget the chandelier. A space isn’t complete until the lighting is up.
