Menus and Signage on Cloth

To add an unexpected element of texture that gives a casual, approachable edge to an elegant tablescape, try having select pieces of stationery printed on premium cloth! We love the clean look of these menus draped softly at each setting!

Mismatched Meets Modern

It’s no secret we love a good rustic tablescape, but this one stood out to us with its mismatched chairs juxtaposed with clean, modern and minimalistic dinnerware. The contrast is unexpected and a great way to combine conflicting styles in a visually appealing way!
