Black Bamboo
Photos: J. Rabinowitz
This shoot was done for Palm Beach Illustrated and these are the words of our co-founder, Alex Papachristidis, about the Black Bamboo Collection: "The custom napkins were made for Lisa‘s daughter's wedding (featured in Town & Country magazine). The black bamboo dishes from our collection create a drama while still being true to the local Florida atmosphere. We’ve added the wonderful Grecian vases to play off the dishes from Casa Gusto and the charming, tall centerpiece, being a fern this time. I always encourage clients to use elements from their home when setting the table. Sometimes for a last-minute dinner, there’s no time to order flowers, so take a plant and use it as a centerpiece, adding beautiful objects from your home. Interesting tables create conversation, and I always encourage clients to create their own style when entertaining. On this table we’ve used the ultimate bamboo flatware from Buccellati and divine silver salt and peppers wrapped in bamboo, made for Everyday Elegance Collection. Collecting beautiful things for the table should be a joy and bring others so much pleasure, by giving your guests something to enjoy."
