小小的一张桌子，彰显自己的时尚魅力。这就是Norman Copenhagen的新系列Table Tableau，设计了一套经典的桌面摆设，融合创意和传统美学打造漂亮的桌面风景。设计机构Femmes Régionales设计了这个系列，包括桌布、餐巾纸和蜡烛，均以艺术喷绘的方式创造出可口美味的色彩。
蜡烛表面以精巧的条纹沟槽做装饰，桌布细节精湛，餐巾纸则用优美的笔画营造美丽图案。Table Tableau系列为你的餐桌提供了丰富的装饰元素，让饮食环境锦上添花，无论是简单的晚餐还是节日聚会。“过去，将餐桌打扮得美轮美奂是一件非常重要的事情，这表明主人愿意花费大量时间去为客人创造一个高端、高品位的环境。而如今快节奏的生活中已经很少有人会这么做”，Femmes Régionales说道，他希望这个系列能够启发人们发掘装点餐桌的乐趣和意义。
“装点餐桌是一个游戏，制定你自己的风格然后尽情地发挥。”这位富有创造力的设计师鼓励大家这么做。这个系列丰富多彩的图案元素能够自由地混合，搭配出优雅、缤纷、个性化的组合，或者纯粹任性狂野的图案混搭。色彩的选择基于经典色彩搭配，和不同风格的平衡，包括一些橙色、苹果绿、金属色等跳脱的颜色元素。
这个系列包括五种图案风格：三种手绘风格的橙色图案，参考了时尚、艺术、室内设计流行趋势；两种几何图案，从室内设计和布艺设计的丰富经验中提炼出来。
每一个图案的命名都在词语“感谢”后面接不同语言，放在一起的还有那个语言所在的城市，例如：“致敬-罗马”或者“为往事干杯-东京”。每一种设计还能巧妙地与节庆配合，例如将桌面装点成奢华的意大利泳池派对或者礼仪周全的日本早餐。通过对蜡烛、桌布和餐桌纸的更换，可以创造出无数种氛围，让每一种情景都搭配不同的主题。
另外，在产品包装上也以不同的调性强调主人、客人和桌面物品之间的融洽关系，每一个细节都体现人性化。每一件物品都被赋予积极的属性，完美配合主人和客人。例如，一款“彬彬有礼”蜡烛从头道菜到餐后酒一直陪伴左右，而20种色彩多样的餐巾纸在保持清洁的同时也提高餐桌颜值。
Little table, spread thyself! Table Tableau is Norman Copenhagen's take on the classic table setting, and an invitation to bring back old virtues and make an effort with a beautifully set table. Design agency Femmes Régionales is behind the collection, which consists of tablecloths, napkins and candles in artistic prints and appetising colour combinations.
An open interpretation of older virtues
Block candles with delicate, grooved surfaces, tablecloths with golden details, and cloth napkins with delectable patterns in light brushstrokes. Table Tableau offers a range of gorgeous items for your table setting, which will put the icing on the cake at any meal, whether it's a simple dinner or a festive gathering. "The ability to set a beautiful table was a highly-regarded virtue in days gone by. It signalled refinement and indicated that one had invested time in creating a special setting for one's guests. A level of care and immersion that seems to have been left behind in today's busy, digitised way of life," say Femmes Régionales, who hope that Table Tableau will inspire people to rediscover the joy of table setting.
"Table setting should be a game. Make your own rules and go all the way!" say the creative ladies encouragingly. The collection's various elements can be mixed and matched in elegant, colour-coordinated combinations, or completely wild pattern mixes. The colour scale is based on a combination of classic colours and a balanced series of accents, including a few wildcards in the form of orange, pale apple green, and metallic gold.
The collection includes five seductive prints: three organic patterns with a hand-drawn feel, which reference tendencies within fashion, art and interior design; and two geometric patterns, which draw upon a rich heritage within interior and textile design.
Each print is named after the word 'cheers' in different languages, together with a city from the country where that language is spoken: e.g. Salute Rome or Kampai Kyoto. The different prints can also cunningly serve as inspiration for festive themes. How about setting the table for an extravagant Italian pool party or a ceremonial Japanese breakfast? By making small changes to the combination of candles, cloths and napkins, it is possible to create multiple expressions and introduce new themes to every occasion.
As a nice, little detail, each of the products is packaged up with its own tone of voice, related to the world of hosting, guests and table settings. Each item has been bestowed with a positive attribute, which characterises the perfect guest or host. For example, the collection includes A well-behaved candle (will last you from starter to nightcap) and 20 charming napkins (a bit of colour to keep you clean).
