A Perfect Mix
1. Bryan Huffman
North Carolina designer Bryan Huffman’s style shines through his fresh take on traditional. “How does one take such traditional elements as Royal Crown Derby, Flora Danica, Tiffany, Kirk Stieff, William Yeoward and Waterford and make a table feel young and fresh?” Huffman asks. “Mix it up by adding Anna Weatherley chargers, straw placemats and Indian block print napkins. Mingle various china, silver and crystal patterns and toss in plenty of brightly colored blossoms to create a marvelous ‘high/low’ mix of relaxed glamour and formality coupled with modern texture and pattern.”
China: Anna Weatherley chargers; Royal Crown Derby Red Aves dinner plates; Royal Copenhagen Flora Danica Fungi collection soup bowls, St. Louis Thistle crystal flutes; Waterford Curraghmore crystal goblets; William Yeoward Pearl wine glasses.
Flatware: Tiffany Chrysanthemum; Reed & Barton Francis I, and Kirk Stiff Repousse.
Various silverwares: Fisher Silversmiths mint juleps, and Kirk Stieff Repousse tureen, salt cellars, and pepper shaker.
