Dining

Traditionally woven tablecloths, printed ceramics and clay pieces, for the everyday table and the Sunday one.

Setting the table

The tablecloths are cotton, hard-wearing and easy to care for, so there is no need to save them for special days. There are fine blue or green stripes on a neutral ground, which let the tableware shine, and yellow or green gingham for a livelier table, outdoors too. The Canarian woven placemats mix stripes and colours for breakfast or a relaxed dinner.

The ceramics are handmade in Córdoba: the Huerta salad bowl, decorated with lemons, and the Medina lebrillo, with an Andalusian-inspired print. Both are for serving at the table and look good when they're not in use. The wicker fruit bowl on a stand lifts the fruit and makes it the centre of the table.

The clay platter and candlesticks are antiques, sold as they are, with the marks of their earlier life. They are pieces to decorate with.

Frequently asked questions

What size tablecloth do I need?

The fine-stripe tablecloths go from 140 × 110 cm for a coffee table up to 170 × 350 cm for 8–10 people, and there are round versions. The gingham ones go from 135 × 110 cm to 170 × 270 cm, round too. As a guide, a tablecloth usually hangs 20–30 cm over each side.

Why do some tablecloths take longer?

The round tablecloths and the 170 × 350 cm one are made to order and take 3 to 4 weeks.

Can I serve food on the clay platter?

No. It is an antique, decorative piece. For serving, use the ceramic salad bowl or lebrillo.
