A Table for the Holidays

This winter, Molteni&C rings in the festive season with “A Table For The Holidays”, a celebration of conviviality. Four iconic tables have been decorated for the occasion, illustrating hosting ideas to welcome friends and family during the festivities. Find inspiration for fine dining, sophisticated mise en places, and warm and welcoming ambiances, which demonstrate the multitude of creative ways one can celebrate the holidays — always with the perfect table as the starting point.

Discover the selection of Molteni&C’s tables dressed up for the occasion and take inspiration in finding the perfect gift for your loved ones. Four different tables were chosen to stoke your imagination to create your own festive tablescape at home.

Blevio, a table designed by Gardella in 1930 — a quintessential Italian design and part of the Heritage Molteni&C collection — dressed with precious gilded plates and glasses that appear sculpted and ready to host an Asian-inspired feast. The second is Half a Square by Michael Anastassiades, which elevates the ‘after dinner’ moment with an evocative table that features a selection of cocktail glasses, creating a geometric composition illuminated by a delicate play of candles. The third is Foster+Partners’ glass-topped oval Arc Table, which will tell a story of family togetherness in a rich but informal setting, where plates decorated in gold are combined with simple linen placemats. And finally, Gio Ponti’s majestic D.859.1 table, enriched with a mise en place in which simplicity and refinement invite guests to enjoy the tranquility of the holidays.

To mark the season, some Molteni&C Flagship Stores will host a flower installation within a dining or kitchen setting alongside dedicated windows that celebrate different aspects of conviviality. The lavish floral arrangement, composed of dried flowers in warm seasonal colors, will be strikingly suspended above the table setting, animating each Flagship Store’s windows and imbuing the space with a warm and festive feeling.

Each window will also display a QR code that directs the user to an article written by design historian Catherine Rossi in M Magazine, Molteni&C’s in-house publication, which explores the tradition of the shared meal in 20th and 21st-century design. The activation is part of a wider editorial project that includes a social media campaign and a dedicated e-commerce section on US channels, where to find the perfect ideas for the upcoming gifts season.

This holiday season Molteni&C shares one of their best-kept secrets with you all, how to recreate an artfully decorated table at home that speaks to your own personal style.
