Use the Dinnerware You Already Have!

The holiday season is upon us, and with it comes the delightful challenge of holiday hosting. While beautiful new holiday-themed dinnerware may catch your eye, we have a secret to achieving a stunning, festive table setting without buying a whole new collection: use your everyday dinnerware as the foundation!

 

Your favorite porcelain pieces are the ultimate blank canvas—timeless, elegant, and versatile. The key to a beautiful holiday table is simple: It's all about layering! By adding select accent pieces, linens, and décor, you can transform your everyday essentials into a distinct, dazzling display for any festive gathering.

Here are three distinct holiday styles, all built around a base of three of our iconic collections:

Manufacture Rock, Afina, and NewMoon.

Elegant dining table set with black Manufacture plates, black candles, cutlery and green foliage as a centrepiece in a modern dining room.

Look #1:

(Manufacture) Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree

For a holiday table that feels warm, rustic, and inviting, turn to Manufacture Rock. This collection mimics the natural look and feel of matte slate, providing a beautiful textural midnight black contrast to your food.

 

The Foundation:

  • Manufacture Rock pasta plates & dinner plates

 

The Layering:

  • Color Palette: Black, deep currant, rich mauve, and forest green
  • Festive Touches: A low, lush centerpiece of greenery (like cedar or pine), mixed with candlesticks of different heights in mauve and currant shades, and matte black ornaments scattered for drama.
  • Top It Off: Manufacture Rock stemware, featuring chic, hand-painted matte black stems.

A dining table set with white Afina plates, glasses, candles, and golden Christmas decorations, with a fireplace in the background.

Look #2:

Walking In a (Modern) Winter Wonderland (Featuring Afina)

The Afina collection, with its delicate, textured design along the rims and modern shapes that make the dinnerware appear to float delivers an air of quiet luxury. The Afina collection is the perfect backdrop for a chic, minimalist holiday look.

 

The Foundation:

  • Afina dinner plates & bowls

 

The Layering:

  • Color Palette: Warm metallics like gold and bronze, contrasted with cool silver and various shades of white and cream.
  • Festive Touches: An arrangement of mixed metallic and white/cream ornaments, creating a focal point of festive glamour. Tapered white candles in a classic brass-toned candelabra add a warm, inviting glow.
  • Top It Off: La Divina glassware, known for its sleek design, to complete the sophisticated feel.
