This classic parsons-style table by
Huppé is contemporary and has a
handsome, natural, walnut finish. The
clean lines of the piece express the
casual fashion in which we like to live. The
exquisite details in its craftsmanship is
remarkable.

The flatware used in both tablescapes
shows the versatility of mixing a
traditional, gold finish with contemporary
lines. When used in a traditional table
setting, the brushed gold helps reinforce
the traditional style yet the simple lines
make the flatware versatile enough to use
in a contemporary setting. We layered the
table setting with linen place mats and
imitation bone napkin rings.

A beautiful mirrored tray is not only
useful during a dinner party but helps
reflect the colours and textures found on
the table.
Accessories such as gold reindeer
and holiday themed snow globes take
the place of a traditional floral arrangement
in our contemporary setting.
In the contemporary tablescape, you
will find formal pieces such as classic
metal rimmed plates and gold flatware
mixed with fun polka dot glassware and
whimsical patterns. Casually striped
coasters and place mats are finished with
metallic details for a holiday feel. A shot of
pink in the salad plates and linen napkins
is beautifully accentuated with brushed
gold hammered napkin holders which
can be used year-round on your table or
to hold a set of scarves together in your
closet.
Gold pinecone salt and pepper
shakers could easily sit in either
table setting. These fun details are great
conversation starters at a dinner party!
