Setting a table with care can feel especially atmospheric during the most anticipated holiday of winter. When December darkness falls and homes are filled with the scent of spruce, gingerbread and freshly simmered mulled wine, we gather around tables adorned with candlelight and red Christmas figures. The modern Christmas table setting, as we know it today, developed during the 20th century when traditions blended with new materials and forms – but the feeling of warmth, togetherness and thoughtfulness has long been the same around this beloved holiday.
Ahead of the season’s most sparkling celebration, Formstad presents a Christmas special of our themed auction “The Set Table,” where you can find everything from Aina Stenberg’s Rörstrand service “Tomtejul” to elegant bronze angel candlesticks. As in previous editions of the auction, it is in the details that the table setting finds its expression. Whether you are looking for Eva Englund’s delicate “Maja” glasses, stylish napkin rings or a festive centerpiece to complement your holiday traditions – here you will find everything that can elevate your seasonal table setting.
