An Evening of Light, Glass, and Venetian Glamour

We are excited to share our July table for the Seasons Art de la Table series. For this month, we stepped away from earthy neutrals and amber tones and into something more vibrant, expressive, and radiant with our Murano dinner table.

A Joyful Mood Rooted in Craftsmanship

Picture a table glowing with jewel-toned light; sapphires, citrines, and emeralds. Where every element feels alive with colour and craft. This dinner was inspired by the legendary glassmakers of Murano, Italy, whose intricate artistry and bold use of colour became the heart of our story.

To honour old-world craftsmanship reimagined in a modern context, a celebration of both precision and play, where nothing matched exactly but everything belonged. The effect was lively, luminous, and unmistakably colourful.

Setting the Scene: Table Décor and Ambience

Guided by our specific mood board, which pays tribute to hand-blown glass, playful palettes, and Italian storytelling, the table came together as a kaleidoscope of texture and tone.

• Glass-First Focus: At the centre of it all: hand-blown Murano tumblers in Azzuro, Amethyst and Orange, each piece unique, catching the candlelight with theatrical elegance, accompanied by a Murano carafe and napkin rings.

• Layered Light: Multicoloured printed candles dance across the table, their glow bouncing off their wavy glass candle holders and Venetian glassware.

• Floral Whimsy: Individual white peonies stand delicately on the table, adding a sense of whimsy that echoes the Rococo style of the tableware while keeping the overall look fresh and informal.

The Culinary Journey

With a table so rich in colour and joy, the menu leaned into sun-drenched Mediterranean flavours, shared dishes, and ingredients as bold and beautiful as the setting.

• Pre-Dinner Cocktail: Gazpacho
  A refreshing tomato and vegetable soup, served cold with a drizzle of olive oil — the perfect light start to your meal that contrasts beautifully on our pastel coloured plates.

• Starter: Heirloom Tomato & Burrata Salad with Basil Oil
  A mosaic of heirloom tomatoes in every shade, paired with creamy burrata and bright basil oil. Served on hand-blown glass plates, the dish echoed the table’s visual vibrancy.

• Main Course: Grilled Sea Bass with Salsa Verde & Charred Lemon
  Fresh Mediterranean Sea bass grilled whole and served with an herby salsa verde, blistered cherry tomatoes, and charred lemon halves. Light, fragrant, and full of summer flavour.

• Dessert: Citrus Granita Trio
  Three granitas! Lemon, blood orange, and grapefruit, served in glass bowls. A refreshing, colourful finish that mirrored the joy and energy of the setting.
