The Table

Carla Peters  designs beautiful products and Stephan Zeijlemaker likes good cooking and taking care of family and friends. Both love beautiful, traditional products. And both are sustainable entrepreneurs. Voila, meet The Table.

They design and make everything you need for a beautifully set table, where you can eat, talk, laugh and sometimes, cry. With your family, with your friends, with your family. As a designer, Carla has worked closely with makers in faraway countries for many years. In her designs she combined contemporary western design with age-old handicraft techniques from distant countries. This results in exciting new forms.

Stephan has earned his spurs as a sustainable entrepreneur by setting up Yumeko, the first brand in ecological bedding. He likes to cook and spoil people. Usually on weekends. His mushroom risotto with truffle is popular with friends and family. the-table-about-our-collection-craft

Carla designs everything you need for the dining table: from plate to glass, from tablecloth to vase and candle. They work with great craftsmen from all over the world, whom they all know personally too. Almost everything in the collection is handmade. The tableware is made in Thailand, the glass in Egypt, the tablecloths in India, the candles in Indonesia and the placemats in Bangladesh. Carla knows the best craftsmen and has worked with them for years and sat next to them to arrive at new shapes with their old techniques. They both love handmade and craft. How beautiful is it that every product is unique and has a soul?
