Six American Designers Share Their Inspiring New Takes on a Dream Dinner Party

We can all get stuck in a rut. This holiday season, break out of yours.

Sometimes, the planning for the holidays can be just as much fun as the celebrating. (At least, we hope that’s how you’ll feel reading the following). In our November/December 2022 issue, we asked six American creatives—up-and-coming designers, an established entrepreneur, inventive architects, and a sought-after stylist—to share how they dress up their dinner table for guests. They came up with a party theme and set their tables with some of their own work as well as a few other objects. Then we picked new designs that complement each vibe. Being our American Design issue, all of our selections are U.S.-made. Bon appétit…er…enjoy.
