26 statement tableware pieces that will be the star of any gathering

It seems that everyone’s obsession with gorgeous tableware is here to stay, and we for one, are delighted. Not only are our Instagram feeds peppered with pictures of imaginative and eclectic table settings, standout tableware is becoming a focus of many shops and brands.

Signature Editions, for example, is now stocking the Oscar de la Renta Coralina tableware collection, The Designed Table has launched their autumn collection full of pattern and colour, and high street brands are branching out with bold designs.

Not only will these pieces make even an informal gathering feel special, it’s also the time of year where the festive season is already creeping into our consciousness. So if you’re planning on hosting, it’s never too early to consider your table set up.

And although some may advise to invest in plain tableware that will go with everything, we’ve always believed in buying what you love. After all, who says having patterned tableware means you have to go plain elsewhere? Layering colours you love will always be a great look.

Here are 26 pieces that will be the star of your tablescapes for years to come.
