Weekly Table Setting: Clean Lines and Color
We carry a lot of products at Didriks, and often get in a bounty of new inventory as the seasons change. One of store-favorite brands, Heath Ceramics, introduces new seasonal colors from time to time, and their new colors for this spring season are positively stunning. Heath Ceramics features a lot of neutrals and earth tones, and this collection is no different -- but the colors are just so rich and beautiful, they caught my eye immediately. Tangerine, Cool Lava, Indigo and Lemongrass come in an assortment of Heath vases, ranging in shape and size. The colors are bold enough to dress up virtually any table setting, though can stand alone too.
The setting also featured some vibrant Chilewich placemats, including the Chilewich Mini Basketweave Oval Placemat in Clementine and the Chilewich Round Bamboo Placemat in Teal.
The individual dinnerware plate settings were comprised of pieces from the Alessi Ovale collection, and included the Alessi Ovale Flat Dinner Plate, the Alessi Ovale Soup Plate and the Alessi Ovale Saucer for Teacup. The simple, clean lines of this white stoneware dinnerware paired beautifully with the colorful placemats and vases, and allowed those colors to really bring the table to life.
The flatware was from the David Mellor Pride Stainless Steel Collection, a petite, delicate looking collection that enhanced the modern look and feel of this setting.
Both glasses came from the Alessi Glass Family Collection, a very basic, clean-lined collection. We used the Alessi Glass Family Water Glass and the stemless Alessi Glass Family Red Wine Glass.
As for the vases, we featured four separate styles, clockwise from the top right:
The Heath Ceramics Multi-Stem Vase in Lemongrass The Heath Ceramics Single-Stem Vase in Indigo The Heath Ceramics Bud Vase in Tangerine The Heath Ceramics Bulb Vase in Cool Lava
This setting goes straight past spring to bring us the warm, saturated colors of summer. What a happy sight!
