Today, five years after the start of a global pandemic where social distance was imposed, especially in contexts of sharing meals, the presence of collective tables is observed in many bar, café, and restaurant designs. These tables make it possible to work, share a coffee, or have a meal alongside people who are often strangers, thereby encouraging relationships between them. To occupy public spaces is to bring the habit of sitting at the table together beyond the private setting — be it domestic or commercial, like bars and restaurants — it is to open up more possibilities for connection between people and to explore exchanges, discussions, relationships, and affections.

A communal meal with raw meats, seafood, and vegetables cooked in a simmering pot of broth.

The Aesthetic Appeal of Soap Dispensers The soap dispenser could have taken on a myriad of forms, but for Flynn McGarry, the design needed to align perfectly with the overall aesthetic of his latest venture, Gem Home. This chic store and café, located in the heart of Manhattan, offers a unique experience where patrons can savor delicious lentils and indulge in generous slices of parsnip cake. The…

The Last Supper, which is depicted in the Bible as the final meal Jesus shared with his disciples before his crucifixion, holds symbolic significance in Christian theology.

From a culinary perspective, this event is traditionally associated with the institution of the Eucharist or Holy Communion, where bread and wine represent the body and blood of Jesus, respectively.

One key lesson that can be drawn from the Last Supper in the context of culinary arts is the act of sharing a meal together.

Eating together has long been a symbol of community, friendship, and unity.

The Last Supper serves as a reminder of the importance of coming together around a table to share food and fellowship with one another.

Additionally, the act of breaking bread and sharing a communal meal can be seen as a gesture of hospitality, generosity, and love.

It emphasizes the idea of nourishing both the body and soul through the act of eating together.

The Last Supper offers insights into the cultural, social, and spiritual significance of food and communal dining.

When I first came across this new Rustic Communal Dining Table my thoughts were wide open with all the decorative styles we could dress this table up with.

I instantly saw rugs, ceiling lighting, dining chairs & benches, tableware and table linens, etc. enhancing the alluring charm of this table!

The adaptability and functionality this table offers is close to endless.

Here I go with the decor styles it would certainly enhance....Farmhouse, rustic, western, country, boho, chic, Tuscan, coastal and a blend of several of those combined!

Do a mixture of side chairs on one side and benches on the other. Mix it up with color and textures with upholstery materials such as fabrics, cowhides, leathers or just color wood frames on your furniture pieces.

I love our Prairie Pine Side Chairs because they have iron rods on the seat back that would bring out the iron under the table tying it together. Theses chairs are available in 15 different colors. So, pair those chairs with an area rug with a hint of that color in it.

We offer large 11’ x 13’ area rugs that will accommodate this table when it is at its over-all extended length of 11 feet!  This is really a perfect communal table for all your large gatherings!

A chandelier or hanging ceiling light with a touch of wrought iron would also tie the space together.

Depending on that look you are going for, we have several sideboards, servers and buffets to add to your space for better functionality. Many of these can also be finished in one of those 15 colors mentioned earlier.

As for tableware and table linens, well the sky is just about the limit. Many of our table linens are neutral and will tie in wonderfully with all the decor styles I mentioned. Table linens made it easy to change your look on a whim!

Dinnerware, flatware and glassware will be the main focal point of a table setting (other than centerpieces) so these may take a bit more consideration when deciding the style, you are going with.  If it is too hard to settle on just one, try more neutral tableware that you can “decorate around” with another table decor to get the look you are after.

If in doubt, or you cannot find the look you are after or a certain piece of furniture or decor, contact us! I will personally take the shopping part off your hands and send you ideas, samples, suggestions and such, to help you round out your decorating journey!

Thanks for reading. Until next time,

Stay safe ~ Randee
