Ripe for Summer: Fresh Stacks of Lenox, Marchesa, and Ivy Collection


Elevate your expectations with considered coastal tablescapes for warm weather days, whether you are landlocked or sitting seaside.


Scalloped edges, maritime touches, and pearlescent shades. We’re diving deep into an aesthetic mix that stimulates our childlike senses– coastal auntie meets mermaidcore, but perfectly polished to POSH standards.


EXHALE: COASTAL COMFORT


It’s time to take it slow. You are cordially invited to drift away with the delicate layers of the Ivy Collection. Nestled among a driftwood and succulent centerpiece from Avant Garden, this divine tablescape gently nudges you into a coastal chic aesthetic that lingers well into candlelight.

Bookmark these sophisticated pieces if you want to arrange an opportunity to speak present tense around the table.

The China: The Ivy Collection adds a fanciful flourish to the table with its playfully scalloped edges and daintily embossed border. The subtle, cream hue of this (new!) fine bone china perfectly brings a casual elegance to the grandeur of Jan Barboglio Hammered Charger and Royal Limoges Paradis Bleu–both nostalgic chargers with deep-rooted tradition and storied design houses.

The Glassware: We’re not just blowing with the breeze–the Manhattan Glassware Collection is an entirely mouth-blown European collection selected for a new twist for specialty cocktail lovers. We love the lightness of the water glass for quenching our summer thirst. To polish it off, we added the Green Carrie Wine Glass as an ode to the mermaid tears–aka sea glass–you’ll find on naturally weathered beaches.

The Carrie Wine Glass Collection | The Manhattan Collection is available in water, white and red wine, champagne tulip, martini, and saucer.

The Flatware: Can flatware reset your frequency to its natural state? We’re no scientists, but the energetic balance of the Cutipol Rondo Collection in Copper sure feels pretty great in a place setting. It polishes off the contemporary tone of this coastal table.

The Chair: For a city-side coastal look, you need a sophisticated spin on the traditional Spindle chair. Our Spindle does just that by reimagining the original form with a natural finish and woven seat. Sculpted for comfort and ease, this supportive seat complements both a classic and contemporary aesthetic.

ESCAPE: YOU ARE HERE


This tablescape takes you on a flight of fancy with slightly unexpected details that blend beautifully into one sweeping, seaside aesthetic. Avant Garden took the beauty of the ocean ashore with a succulent-filled clamshell centerpiece, which we punctuated with nostalgic notes of scallops and Bellinvito menus. Adding in the place setting layers is always our favorite part, of course.

The China: Make a splash with an infusion of champagne, pink, and gold shades sprinkled with Summer’s icy blue and coral hue. The Marie Daage Champagne Agate Charger offered a halo effect to the scalloped edges of our Lenox Marchesa Shades of Ivory Collection–a breathtaking pattern that begs to be used outside of just a bridal occasion. This place setting is notably topped off with another iconic bridal collection–Wedgewood’s Vera Wang Marbe pattern, adding a crystalline streak of color reminiscent of an Indian summer sunset.

The Glassware: Pass the Aperol Spritz with subtle, sunset shades that catch the range of light from pale peach to smoky bronze.

The Flatware: Yamakazi is known for their “One and Only” craftsmanship, having mastered their technique of producing hand-hammered cutlery. Uncompromising design and quality made them a must for us, as did this gold-plated collection. Display a touch of the tropics with its textured palm details that catch the light beautifully, creating a stunning visual effect.

The Chair: Designed with both practicality and style, the Cane Back Chair is a classic seating option that will never go out of style. Made of woven cane, this chair is much like the shells on the table–delicate in appearance but strong enough to outlast any weather. We think it’s perfect for perching with those Chloe Sea Treasure Ballerina flats, but that’s just us.
