Black and White Tabletop Designs
Author:Abigail Stone
| It being the beginning of spring and all, convention would have one planning to add lovely shades of green, pink, and other blossomy hues to the table. And yet, I keep being drawn to tableware of distinctly starker shades. It was this set of glasses from LA’s TableArt that set me on a black and white kick–the strong contrast and simple pattern looking so modern and grown-up compared to the pastel colors currently flooding the stores. |
| Anything done in either shade instantly takes on a more sculptural look, no? These little salt & pepper shakers from Jonathan Adler would look perfectly at home sitting on a mantle with other objets d’art when not in use. |
| And while I’ll no doubt pick up a few brightly colored pieces to warm up my home for the new season, I like that whatever hue I bring home would likely work just fine with these black & white items. They’re a no-nonsense, practical choice that just happens to look exceptionally sophisticated to boot. Left: Tree Dinnerware 5 piece place setting from Gumps |
