Paola Navone Taste Plates Reichenbach

 

October is fine dining month here on DPAGES so I thought it apropos to cover the topic of table setting. The truth is, when it comes to entertaining, yours truly is not particularly domestic and frankly even the thought of hosting a party in excess of three or four can can lead to an outbreak of hives. That said, today we will stick to what D does best with a few design-oriented diagrams. From there… just select your preferred level of formality and click through to the experts at Emily Post where you will find details on how to choreograph it all. Shown above – the Taste china collection by Paola Navone. Below – Diagrams courtesy of Emily Post.
