The Art of the French Table
Introducing Willa
Meet Willa, our collection inspired by our passion for the Art Nouveau period—the darling of design in the late 19th century France that changed tastes around the world—with its focus on nature (from bugs to botanicals) and sinuous shapes as a metaphor for freedom from the rigidity of the past.
In this spirit of decorative joie de vivre, the Willa collection is our love letter to the Provençal countryside, with its rich terroir and earthy colors, vast meadows of flowers and fields of vines—where the art of setting a beautiful table is passed down through generations and is (nearly!) as important as the meal itself.
Join us for dinner—with a setting like only the French can do—and discover how to transform a table into something trés magnifique!
Weave a Tapestry of Textures
Hand-woven table linens evoke the romance and richness of heirloom tapestries, adding layers of texture and pattern with quietly bold florals and leaves in earthy pinks and greens—reminiscent of a meadow at dusk—for effortlessly elegant year-round entertaining. Replete with intricate hand-embroidery and finished with handcrafted tassels, Willa napkins and table runners feel like textile treasures found at a chic Parisian antique market or charming village brocante.
Evoke Old-World Charm
Candlelight makes everyone look beautiful! Gleaming metallic elements bring instant warmth and drama to the table, striking that perfect French balance of old-world charm and modern cool — with pewter ceramics, hammered stainless steel cutlery, and candlesticks that are polished to brilliance for an ever-enchanting glow (and a dash of gravitas).
Add Artisanal Touches
The poetry of the French tablescape lies in the artistry of the details, from Willa’s camelia napkin rings blooming with petals of handcrafted leather, to the simple pleasure of drinking from mouth-blown Ella glassware that makes everything from lemonade to sauvignon blanc feel extra special. It’s these little touches of craftmanship that remind us to slow down and savor the beauty of gathering together around the table, time and time again.
Bon appétit!
