A Soft Morning of Slow Ritual and Seasonal Shift

We are excited to share our latest table in the Seasons Art de la Table series, a monthly celebration where thoughtful design, seasonal ingredients, and elevated ambiance come together. For September, we move gently into the new season with a brunch table that honours early autumn light, market-fresh flavours, and the comforting ritual of gathering in the morning.

A Gentle Mood Rooted in Ease and Intimacy

Visualise a table bathed in morning light ; warm, comforting, and effortless. This month’s aesthetic is all about softness: harvest tones, chunky mugs and plates, layered textures, and a curated sense of quiet familiarity.

We celebrate small rituals. Pouring coffee into handmade mugs, spooning jam onto warm bread, arranging figs and pears into still-life forms. The table invites anyone to settle in, stay longer, and take comfort in the autumnal morning sun.

Setting the Scene: Table Décor and Ambience

Inspired by our curated mood board of soft baby blues, heavy ceramic pottery, and seasonal fruit tones, the table embraced texture, tone, and simplicity.

•⁠ ⁠Layered Linen – A pale blue tablecloth as the canvas, layered with matching linen napkins in a vintage looking pattern gently folded for an undone look.

• Elegant Warmth – Sunset coloured Dahlia flowers, as the centrepiece to the table.

• Seasonal Still Life – Bowls of late-summer plums, green pears, and apples amongst the jars of jam and butter celebrating the shift from summer sweetness to autumn comfort.

Enjoy Your Brunch!

The Gathering Brunch was more than a meal — it was a seasonal pause. A way to welcome the turn of the calendar, to honour the slowness of early autumn, and to create space for thoughtful gathering around a beautiful table.

Here’s to golden mornings and gentle transitions.
