The table is set for a beautiful Sunday Supper with our Bargello dinner service. This charming pattern has a contemporary vibrancy and versatility that belies its antique origins, adapted from English porcelain, circa 1810. Like the needlework for which it is named, it combines random dashes of red, green, blue, yellow, orange and magenta is a geometric patchwork enhanced by 22 carat gold lines.

It was October 2021, and I had just finished my first in-person trends seminar since the pandemic impacted all industry shows. At the end of the image-packed program, an audience member raised her hand and challenged, “Do trends even matter anymore?”
It was a valid question. The pandemic had disrupted business, upended supply chains, transformed education, revealed vulnerabilities, altered priorities, and unexpectedly claimed many lives. The question was tinged with cynicism. Pent...

Yes, our trays are not historic, but the story of the Sandwich is. The sandwich has come a long way from a hunk of beef and cheese between bread.
“The sandwich as we know it was popularized in England in 1762 by John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich.
