小小的一張桌子，彰顯自己的時尚魅力。這就是Norman Copenhagen的新系列Table Tableau，設計了一套經典的桌面擺設，融合創意和傳統美學打造漂亮的桌面風景。設計機構Femmes Régionales設計了這個系列，包括桌布、餐巾紙和蠟燭，均以藝術噴繪的方式創造出可口美味的色彩。
蠟燭表面以精巧的條紋溝槽做裝飾，桌布細節精湛，餐巾紙則用優美的筆畫營造美麗圖案。Table Tableau系列為你的餐桌提供了豐富的裝飾元素，讓飲食環境錦上添花，無論是簡單的晚餐還是節日聚會。“過去，將餐桌打扮得美輪美奐是一件非常重要的事情，這表明主人愿意花費大量時間去為客人創造一個高端、高品位的環境。而如今快節奏的生活中已經很少有人會這么做”，Femmes Régionales說道，他希望這個系列能夠啟發人們發掘裝點餐桌的樂趣和意義。
“裝點餐桌是一個游戲，制定你自己的風格然后盡情地發揮。”這位富有創造力的設計師鼓勵大家這么做。這個系列豐富多彩的圖案元素能夠自由地混合，搭配出優雅、繽紛、個性化的組合，或者純粹任性狂野的圖案混搭。色彩的選擇基于經典色彩搭配，和不同風格的平衡，包括一些橙色、蘋果綠、金屬色等跳脫的顏色元素。
這個系列包括五種圖案風格：三種手繪風格的橙色圖案，參考了時尚、藝術、室內設計流行趨勢；兩種幾何圖案，從室內設計和布藝設計的豐富經驗中提煉出來。
每一個圖案的命名都在詞語“感謝”后面接不同語言，放在一起的還有那個語言所在的城市，例如：“致敬-羅馬”或者“為往事干杯-東京”。每一種設計還能巧妙地與節慶配合，例如將桌面裝點成奢華的意大利泳池派對或者禮儀周全的日本早餐。通過對蠟燭、桌布和餐桌紙的更換，可以創造出無數種氛圍，讓每一種情景都搭配不同的主題。
另外，在產品包裝上也以不同的調性強調主人、客人和桌面物品之間的融洽關系，每一個細節都體現人性化。每一件物品都被賦予積極的屬性，完美配合主人和客人。例如，一款“彬彬有禮”蠟燭從頭道菜到餐后酒一直陪伴左右，而20種色彩多樣的餐巾紙在保持清潔的同時也提高餐桌顏值。
Little table, spread thyself! Table Tableau is Norman Copenhagen's take on the classic table setting, and an invitation to bring back old virtues and make an effort with a beautifully set table. Design agency Femmes Régionales is behind the collection, which consists of tablecloths, napkins and candles in artistic prints and appetising colour combinations.
An open interpretation of older virtues
Block candles with delicate, grooved surfaces, tablecloths with golden details, and cloth napkins with delectable patterns in light brushstrokes. Table Tableau offers a range of gorgeous items for your table setting, which will put the icing on the cake at any meal, whether it's a simple dinner or a festive gathering. "The ability to set a beautiful table was a highly-regarded virtue in days gone by. It signalled refinement and indicated that one had invested time in creating a special setting for one's guests. A level of care and immersion that seems to have been left behind in today's busy, digitised way of life," say Femmes Régionales, who hope that Table Tableau will inspire people to rediscover the joy of table setting.
"Table setting should be a game. Make your own rules and go all the way!" say the creative ladies encouragingly. The collection's various elements can be mixed and matched in elegant, colour-coordinated combinations, or completely wild pattern mixes. The colour scale is based on a combination of classic colours and a balanced series of accents, including a few wildcards in the form of orange, pale apple green, and metallic gold.
The collection includes five seductive prints: three organic patterns with a hand-drawn feel, which reference tendencies within fashion, art and interior design; and two geometric patterns, which draw upon a rich heritage within interior and textile design.
Each print is named after the word 'cheers' in different languages, together with a city from the country where that language is spoken: e.g. Salute Rome or Kampai Kyoto. The different prints can also cunningly serve as inspiration for festive themes. How about setting the table for an extravagant Italian pool party or a ceremonial Japanese breakfast? By making small changes to the combination of candles, cloths and napkins, it is possible to create multiple expressions and introduce new themes to every occasion.
As a nice, little detail, each of the products is packaged up with its own tone of voice, related to the world of hosting, guests and table settings. Each item has been bestowed with a positive attribute, which characterises the perfect guest or host. For example, the collection includes A well-behaved candle (will last you from starter to nightcap) and 20 charming napkins (a bit of colour to keep you clean).
