For product designer Sophie Lou Jacobsen, whose tabletop collection is appropriately named “Setting the Table,” the sign of a successful dinner is “one where delicious food is eaten, beverages are abundant, and good conversation is flowing,” she shares. Guests should feel at home and at ease, and the table should be unfussy, bounteous, and colorful. “And to top it off? Ambient lighting, candles, and plenty of flowers to set the mood,” Jacobsen says.
