THEat the festive table it is an invitation to be together. Among family porcelain, crystals that shine again and centerpieces with the scent of the forest, among appetizing dishes and candles.
Classic or surprising, monochrome or explosion of colours, each mise en place reflects who prepares it and the atmosphere they want to create. Because it is around the table that the most beautiful memories are born, those destined to last over time.
Family memories
The good service that has been handed down for generations, the silver cutlery kept in velvet for the rest of the yearthe Murano glass glasses. They are ready to welcome relatives and friends, making them feel as precious as these porcelains by Guido Andlovitz. To be admired on the “Christmas Table” of Villa Necchi Campiglio, in Milan, in the event signed by the FAI-Italian Environment Fund (until 11 January).
The joy of colours
On a table that looks like a garden in bloom, Christmas becomes a dance between prints that mix graphic patterns and floral decorations. The plain-coloured ceramics break up the patterns for the right balance. And seasonal fruit perfumes the table.
A mise en place, like this one by Lisa Corti, perfect for an informal, free and cheerful lunch.
Lisa Corti’s holiday table
Great North
Grapes, passion fruit, berries (and even tomatoes) are transformed into a spectacular centerpiece in the composition of stands and cups designed to create movement. Surprise effect: here are the polar bears… While the classic Royal Copenhagen porcelain completes the landscape, where the Great North meets the Mediterranean.
Overall vision
Imagine a beautiful house in the woods, where the table lights up with deep red and fir green, composing a warm and radiant palette, capable of transforming any environment into a warm embrace. Here Coincasa’s mise en place is the perfect inspiration for a family invitation, in which to come together to create new, festive memories.
