Restaurant Trend: Baked Enamel Tabletops As Instagram Backgrounds | Eater
"A bakery that invested in highly detailed enamel tabletops for its new Austin location: geometric banding around the rim, a repeating small name tag as part of the pattern, and a central brand mark (a cursive L inside a B) surrounded by radial lines. The founder says the initial aim was simply to make striking, old-school enamel tables rather than to chase social media, but the design has clearly paid off in tags and analytics; the custom pieces were made stateside and took months to produce, reflecting the rarity and cost of true baked-enamel tops." - Kelsey McKinney
