Why Tablescapes Have Become a Source of Self-Expression | Eater

"An independent dinner-party shop launched in Greenpoint, Brooklyn in 2021 that pairs food with a carefully curated selection of tabletop and design objects; the home-focused side of the business has since expanded into a much larger location in Manhattan’s West Village. The store’s “dining room” is piled high with lively, functional wares from contemporary makers (including Dusen Dusen, Sophie Lou Jacobsen, Fredericks & Mae, and Misette), which the owner pulls from distinct brand worlds and assembles together in an intentionally eclectic way. Staff and proprietors encourage mixing rather than matching—prioritizing pieces that spark joy and a lived-in, studio-like approach to tablescaping—positioning the shop as a resource for hosts who want relaxed, individualistic, and playful dinner-party aesthetics instead of catalog-perfect setups." - Rachel del Valle
