Bring beauty into everyday life
Svenskt Tenn’s founder Estrid Ericson, who was known for her beautiful table settings, had a philosophy that the meal itself could be as simple as you like, but there should always be something personal about it. That the grey everyday life needs colour, and we should not be afraid to use fine glassware, textiles and beautiful porcelain even in daily life.
In a radio talk on 20 March 1945, Estrid Ericson shares her thoughts on table settings. She describes five table settings in detail, so that the listener is able to picture them: “Since television is not yet ready, I cannot show any pictures of table settings, but I will try to describe some...”
In these three table settings for breakfast, lunch and dinner, we have focused on Estrid Ericson’s table setting art with beauty throughout every detail. The table settings are described here through film, photos and text, so that you can really feel the atmosphere around the table.
