The dinner table is truly the star of the holiday season – if only it could fit on the top of our tree! It truly is our favourite element of decorating the house for Christmas. For now, we are resisting the urge to occupy the table with crackers and toys and instead have been searching for tableware and accessories that will extend into the new year and can be used for endless glamorous and stylish occasions.

The Wishbone Chair

OK, this doesn’t strictly class as ‘tableware’ but we know better than anyone how it feels to be sat on the “spare chair” at Christmas. This could take the form of various sitting apparatus: the swivel chair from Mum’s office, the old bar stool from the garage (there’s no way I’m reaching the gravy from all the way up here!) or some other improvised sitting stations that will leave you holding your lower back through New Year’s Eve and beyond.

Now at Wicked, of course we celebrate practicality and function, but the holiday season is an excuse for us to flex our creative muscles and get stylish. Our pick is the The Wishbone Chair. Also referred to as the 'Y' chair due to its Y-shaped back, the Wishbone can be used as a dining or occasional chair, making it perfect for the holiday season.

Look for a Wishbone chair which is high quality and remains true to the original design.
Beyond its graceful, shapely form, its best attribute is most certainly flexibility. Designers and home decorators alike have used the Wishbone Chair everywhere from preppy dining rooms to bohemian bedrooms and the balance of glam features and organic elements makes a room feel fresh and vibrant. Furthermore, the beautiful woven-paper seat isn't hard and cold like some chairs – perfect for the wiser persons at the party.

We recommend: CH24 Wishbone Chair in Black Oak & Natural Paper Cord by Hans J. Wegner

Large Otto Plate Black – Crafted by Frama

Handmade dinnerware is sure to make any meal that bit more special, and what could be better than eating off these beautiful Scandinavian ceramic plates. Not only are they gorgeous, this stonewear is refuted for its high strength and durability and makes for a sophisticated addition to any kitchen & dining room. The distinctive lip of the Otto series is an enduring and rustic design but combined with a stackable function and subtle glaze, it also celebrates a meeting between luxe and play in the most perfect way.

Smoke Red Wine Glass - Broste Copenhagen

Whatever holiday tipple, these classy glasses will make that relaxing sip all the sweeter. The Smoke red wine glass by Broste Copenhagen is a modern take on the classic wine glass, and each glass is mouth blown with a smoke coloured base – it’s all in the details! Since the glasses are mouth-blown, the intensity of the colour will vary slightly from glass to glass, creating a unique finish every time. We know a little bit about one-of-a-kind here at Wicked – all of our tables of 1/1 – and these glasses are the perfect way to add a unique touch to your dining experience.

Silver Candle holder – Crafted by Skultuna

Create an elegant setting with the Nattlight candleholder in silver from Skultuna. The Nattlight was designed by Richard Hutten, one of Holland’s most known designers. The candleholder is made of silver-plated brass with a clean, timeless design that is perfect for both festive occasions and every day. The candleholder is available in different sizes and works well displayed by itself or in a cluster. We recommend choosing silver for its versatility, so that these can be used to dress the table for any occasion throughout the new year.

Napkins with a fascinating ombre effect

The design on these napkins features an intriguing ombre effect. The fascinating patterns are more intense along one edge of the napkin and become progressively lighter as they disappear across the other side. Their generous size also means that they can roll up inside a napkin ring without looking thin. The natural style of this table linen will elevate your dining aesthetic by introducing characterful patterns and textures into the space.

Flow Napkin Rings in Brass – Ferm Living

Moulded into curving, organic shapes, this set of napkin rings help you set your table with the attractive lines found in nature, introducing more warmth into your space without offsetting the feel of luxury. Each set features four individually shaped rings of solid brass and presents a napkin casually, yet gracefully – now, we’re getting stylish.

Lind dna - Table Set Curve

The leather used by LindDNA comes from leather offcuts from the production of bags, shoes and other wears. Cut small and then re-bonded with natural rubber, leather is an environmentally friendly and resource-saving alternative to conventional leather. Thanks to its 20% rubber content, the recycled LindDNA leather is particularly robust, water- and dirt-repellent and so easy to clean. At Wicked we think it’s important to make some environmentally conscious decisions over the holiday period, what with all that wrapping paper and what-not, so we recommend keeping an eye out for sustainable accessories. Sustainable can be choosing an item to last you a lifetime or something that has been made from recycled or reclaimed material.

We have chosen this table set in Nupo Anthracite as it matches perfect with the the colour of our oak tables.
