Does this article have a connection with the upcoming fast-approaching year-end celebrations?
Have we been influenced by the general eagerness to dive into the "slightly more joyful than reality" Christmas period?

Considering that hosting dinner parties is among the most enjoyable moments regardless of the season or occasion, let's say the only influence is the level of creativity allowed, which is boundless for our upcoming festive gatherings.

We're not discussing the conventions of table setting, the specific number of glasses and plates per guest, or a predefined order of cutlery.
We're talking about self-expression, creativity, and love!
Taking care of the table and its decoration is a fusion of these three notions.
This is equally true in menu preparation, as the kitchen and table setting are intimately linked, with one highlighting the other.
Table decorations, the choice of color tones for tablecloths and napkins, the style of the centerpiece, the design and material of the plates, the choice of cutlery - whether silverware or more natural materials - and the selection of glasses all express our own tastes and creative personality.
What's beautiful about taking the time to ponder these details is that preparing a beautiful table is a demonstration of love for close friends and a display of respect for more formal dinners.
Whether you're planning to showcase your hosting skills soon (and I'm not talking about waiting for Christmas!) with an intimate dinner for your loved one or a more festive gathering with your close group, here's a list of places and products to help you set a stunning table!

Do you know Victoria-Maria Geyer, a Brussels-based interior architect who collaborated with maison Meillart? The result is a truly superb collection dedicated to the art of table setting. Among the wonders of this collection, we've chosen the "Fortuna lunes" placemat—a uniquely original piece that envelops your décor in landscapes of moons and stars.



The "Faiencerie de Gien", an institution in the art of table setting, with its flagship store located at Grand Sablon, is, of course, part of the selection.
Here, we have a set of dessert plates from their 'Jardin du Palais' collection, designed by Pierre Frey.

When it comes to cutlery, we adore Villeroy & Boch's collections.
They are an international reference in the art of hosting. A tip: visit their store at 37 Avenue Louise. Here, a 24-piece cutlery set from the 'MetroChic' collection.

Sarah Lavoine House, at 8 Place George Brugmann, is truly worth a visit, not only for the treasures you can find for your table decoration but also for your home.
Here, the Daria plate stands out as top creative!

We wish you the most beautiful dinners, spent with those you love!
