Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Sharing food is a universal expression of friendship and hospitality, and much of the enjoyment of inviting friends and family to join in a meal lies in the pleasure of preparing it as well as making the table look beautiful. Basic elements of linen, china, glass, and silverware can always be used, but each piece can be set off, complemented, or enhanced in a number of different ways. This gorgeous book is brimming with original ideas and beautiful inspirations that readers can use to create stunning individual table settings. Table Settings explores the history of eating and table settings in various cultures, and then proceeds to analyze different elemental components of a well-set table: china, glass, silverware, linen, decorations, candles, and furniture. This section is followed by a design directory that offers ideas for different theme tables, such as a traditional white-and-glass table, an African table, Citrus Shades, China Blues, Gilded Table, Jewel Brights, Beach Style, Sun-Filled Style, and much more. Each segment covers absolutely everything needed to create a complete, fabulous-looking table. The great thing about this book is that readers don't need to own tons of fine china and linen to make their table look gorgeous. Furthermore, they have the option of closely following one of the theme patterned table designs, or simply using parts of these to create their own individual designs. The book is also chock-full of colour photos, making it accessible to interior designers of all levels of experience.
