Setting the table is an act that brings people together – and never is that more true than during our cherished holidays.
With flagpoles strategically placed among blue-and-white porcelain, pickled herring, and small glasses of aquavit, we don’t just create new summer memories – we let the past echo into our present.
Throughout history, the way we set the table has reflected the society of the time. From the ritualistic presentations of ancient civilizations, to the solemn feasts of the Middle Ages, and the opulent tables of the Baroque era, the art of dining has always been in flux. Today, we see a blend of tradition and personal style, where function meets aesthetics and individuality is embraced.
In anticipation of the upcoming holiday, Formstad invites you to a Midsummer Special of our recurring themed auction The Set Table Room, where you can create new Midsummer memories browsing items from Gustavsberg, Firma Svenskt Tenn, and numerous silver pieces.
Whether you’re searching for unique serving dishes, elegant cutlery, beautiful glassware, or decorative touches for your summer gathering, there’s something here to elevate every occasion.
