The Irish illustrator and designer describes his love of practical, maximalist tablescaping, especially for Christmas
When we discuss dinner parties, there is usually so much emphasis on the food – and rightly so. However, for me, going the extra mile to consider the theatre of the table is just as important and will make your party truly memorable.
Over the years, I’ve learned a few tips to make a table more comfortable. Some time ago, I invested in a magnificent Edwardian candelabrum, which I intended to keep as a permanent fixture on my table. It was exactly the sort of thing my ten-year-old self lusted after. However, I quickly discovered that a tall centrepiece can block the view of your guests, which is not ideal. Nowadays, I prefer to keep everything on the table relatively low.
Admittedly, place cards are rather unnecessary for a party of four, but I think they add a lovely touch to the table. At the end of the night, guests can take them home as mementos of a splendid evening, if they so choose.
