The Christmas centrepiece: 5 original ideas for the Christmas table

The setting may define the mood, but the true magic of Christmas is celebrated at the table. Why? Simple! Because at Christmas time, friends and family gather to celebrate and enjoy some quality time together. Decorations steal the show during the festive period, what with stands, cups, jars, and much more besides, depicting subjects such as reindeers, Santa Claus, gnomes and the timeless Nutcracker. Everything helps to create that magical atmosphere that brings out the child in us.
That's why the table and decorations should not be left to chance, whether you are after a glamorous, classic, unconventional or fun look for the table setting. Choose the table style you wish to propose in your store, and follow our tips and ideas to make it unique and ready to welcome guests!

Exotic

This year’s Christmas table is unconventional yet elegant. Going against every Christmas cliché is the striking contrast between precious gold and dark black, for a chic style in line with the latest trends. Don't hesitate to combine white dishes with black charger plates. And for an alternative touch, why not combine elegance with the exotic charm of parrots and of candle holders and trays in the shape of a golden palm leaf? A further modern allure is given by the apple-shaped objects in dolomite. The Christmas table has never been so unconventional!

Glamorous

Once again, the glamour of black is back on the table, here paired with gold-finished lanterns and glass vases in which contrasting botanical elements can be inserted. Golden touches and an essential design make for light yet striking shapes that play with special light effects. A helpful tip? Place them on a black tablecloth alongside white plates – the contrast of light and shade will grant the table a soft and enchanting atmosphere. Ready to dare with an ultra-trendy Christmas?

Classic

The Christmas table has never been so classic and yet so original, with this line of matching porcelain cookie jars, muffin cups, mugs, stands, trays and bells designed exclusively by TonoSuTono. A classic style reflecting traditional Christmas themes with a botanical touch provided by garlands, poinsettias and holly.

Fun

A fun, playful table setting that never goes out of style thanks to Santa's famous gnome helpers! The setting? An enchanted village in which the lead up to the holidays is given a unique flavour, creating a sense of anticipation and joy. Because preparing the Christmas table is a joy unconfined! With this themed line, we offer a variety of solutions for all tastes, reflecting this joyful mood. Small items such as cups, cookie jars and plates to be filled with goodies become useful containers for a fun, cheerful table that will instantly attract the kids - and not only them! - to the table!

Nutcracker

The Christmas Nutcracker is one of the best loved and best known figures in the world – so much so that there are several legends about its origins. Despite its age-old history, however, this year you will find it donning a modern black and white outfit designed to create a striking impression at the table. Simply position them between the plates, glasses and cutlery to create a magically trendy ambiance. These Nutcrackers may be paired with gold metal crowns, to be hung as part of an aerial composition or used as a centrepiece, with the addition of a few botanical elements. Who’s for dinner?
