Tonale is Alessi’s new tableware collection designed by British architect David Chipperfield. The colours of the various products are inspired by paintings of Italian artist Giorgio Morandi.



Etsy is an amazing site for great handmade finds.
This textured tray by Clayswan was featured in the December Food & Wine.

I can see this tray being served with after dinner chocolates. The turquoise and the chocolate would make great combo.

Amy Atlas is an event planner based in New York and her focus is dessert tables. She became popular by developing a distinctive style that has been widely emulated.

Amy started a trend by layering apothercary jars with pedestal cake stands and trays. Her look is focused on one or two colors that maximize the visual impact in her designs.

It is not expensive to make a statement that is fun, interactive and adds drama to an event. Adding lighting to the buffet makes the presentation so elegant.
