At The Artisan's Table

Throughout history, tabletop decoration has been at the nexus of utilitarian function and innovative design.

In this book, designers and event producers Jane Schulak and David Stark pair historical table wares from the world's finest design museums with pieces by an international array of contemporary artisans who reinterpret traditional crafts and styles, including Aptware (marbled clay), blue-and-white Delft, chinoiserie, faux bois, plaster, splatterware, and trompe l'oeil.

Each chapter presents a museum object, the work and studio of a contemporary artist as well as table settings made by the authors including contemporary works.
