Decorating for the holidays
is so enjoyable and really brings the spirit of the season into a home. Holiday
entertaining usually involves setting a table that is cheerful and festive.
Our first setting was inspired from winter itself and the whimsy that can
be found in nature: exposed bark, deer antler and windowpane plaids that
make your want to curl up next to a fire. The second scene was an attempt
to recreate the gorgeously detailed illustrations of children author Jan
Brett's winter tale books: the Swedish Alps and the traditions of the
Nordic culture captured in a presentation that would make something as simple
as drinking hot cocoa a breathtaking celebration. The third table setting
really evolved from the idea of decorating a holiday table in a contemporary
approach; clean and angular forms that were inspired by the origami ornaments
we found. Striking and unique, their sculptural forms catapulted us into
creating a geometric feel that made us think of a beautiful MOMA card: modern
and simple while still maintaining a holiday feel. Our hope with each of
these was to try extend the warm fuzzy feel we get during this time of year
last just a little longer as each of these could potentially make a gloomy
mid-January table make you want to stay inside because they are something
adults as well as children can admire and appreciate. We hope you enjoy
these as much as we did putting them together!
