ESTRID ERICSON stiftede Svenskt Tenn i 1924 og var i sin tid kendt for at skabe kreative og utraditionelle borddækninger. Hun brød normen om kun at dække op med hvide servietter og middagsservice, idet hun blandede forskellige farver og vaser, når hun dekorerede sine borde. Borddækning er derfor en central del af designhusets historie.

Indenfor de seneste år har Svenskt Tenn bemærket en stigende interesse for at lave smukke og indbydende borddækninger, både i Sverige og internationalt.

“Inviting people to dinner and setting the table with care and creativity are ways to create wellbeing and enjoyment, which are greatly needed in these times we are living in. Charlotte’s keen interest in table settings makes this a natural and obvious collaboration for us,” siger Thommy Bindefeld.

“I am attracted by the idea of what a table setting can do for people – how it brings us together and creates a pleasant atmosphere – and I want to use nature to achieve just that. The four seasons, with their shifting colour and light, have been my main sources of inspiration in this collaboration,” siger Charlotte Lynggaard.
