A celebration of countryside elegance, where daytime hosting becomes an art of balance and beauty. A white linen tablecloth printed with soft green florals sets the tone, while daisies, artichokes, and grapes wind through the centre in a bucolic arrangement that feels both spontaneous and composed.

The table is set with a harmonious mix of Bernardaud’s “Constance” plates, adorned with oak and laurel motifs symbolizing strength and longevity, and Christofle’s “Babylone” plates, featuring a delicate braided pattern for a modern touch. Silver cutlery from Christofle’s “Albi” collection adds a quiet sense of ceremony, anchoring the informality of nature with timeless polish.

The hand-painted plates echo the garden’s palette, proof that the most memorable tables are those that feel instinctive rather than styled. Baccarat’s “Masséna” glasses, with their deep bevel cuts, add a touch of brilliance to the setting.

A silver-plated “Vertigo” candle holder by Christofle introduces a sculptural element, while Lalique’s “Pivoines” vase, with its intricate peony design, brings floral romanticism to the table. As Tanagra reminds us, refinement comes not from excess, but from care. From the choice of a textile to the placement of a single bloom, beauty takes its time.
