A new generation of set designers

For this issue, Sabato gave carte blanche to four set designers, among them Antoinette Design, with a single brief: imagine a table set outdoors, with summer as the only constraint. Between dunes, forests and open fields, each designer was invited to share their vision of the ideal table, conceived as much as a sensory experience as a living decor.

Our table: structure, lightness and sculpture

When we approached our table for Sabato, we started with the setting. Knowing the day would be warm, we sought something cool and shaded. A forest we know well, a place we often walk through. From there, the table became a sculpture. Everything grew from a metal structure, imagined as an anchor point. A delicate fabric was suspended from it, almost weightless, before falling into a draped tablecloth. Pieces created in our own studio completed the scene: stainless steel stools, concrete candle holders, iron soliflores, mirror name cards. Constructed, yet deliberately free. Between structure and lightness.

The dream table

Asked about our ideal table, we described gathering Dries Van Noten to talk about Venice, Nicolas Decleoft at the stove, Axel Vervoordt for his way of seeing beauty where others don't look, Mathieu Ricard to slow things down, and Guillaume Guiz to bring laughter before things get too serious.

Tables that go beyond

For us, the tables of tomorrow are the ones that break the rules. A picnic on a boat, a barbecue by a lake, a dinner in the middle of a field or on a rooftop at sunset. Formats we loved so much that we began creating them ourselves, experiences you can now book directly on our platform.

See you soon,

The A Team
