The Martha

Her pie crust is perfected and the napkins are starched...but there’s a twist.
Pair heirloom china with a cheeky new centerpiece, and those burnished hues of rust, olive, and clove feel downright rebellious in the South Florida sun.

The Curator

Her table is an exhibition: each object tells its own story.
A sculptural candlestick here, a hand-thrown bowl there, maybe even a seashell masquerading as a salt dish.

The Floridian

Palms, parrots, and chameleon embroidery?
Her table trades maples for monsteras and pheasants for flamingos, setting the scene for a feast that’s lush, sun-drenched, and delightfully high-season.
For her, endless summer is always in good taste.
