Aggiungi Un Posto A Tavola

“Aggiungi un posto a tavola (Add a seat to the table)” is a fun project that reimagines the traditional apron as a versatile and playful addition to your dining experience. These aprons are not only functional but also serve as a creative tablecloth when joined together. The design features shapes that can be rearranged to create various table configurations, providing flexibility for differ- ent dining setups. Each apron can be purchased individually, allowing for customisation of length and style.

 

Additionally, the quarter-circle shapes can be detached and combined with others to form a complete circle tablecloth, enhanc- ing the adaptability of the collection. With “Aggiungi un posto a tavola,” dining becomes a whimsical and interactive
experience where every apron adds a seat to the table and invites creativity to the meal.

The design embraces Italian hospitality and strong family values, embodying the idea that there’s always room for one more at the table. The tablecloth itself is versatile, deconstructing into various shapes to suit different dining setups, and can even be transformed into an apron, merg- ing functionality with the warmth and adaptability of Italian gatherings.

The choice of color and materials is inspired by the Italian countryside, drawing on its earthy tones, natural textures, and warm hues to evoke a sense of rustic charm and authenticity in the design.

      

The piece was part of the exhibition “Sit.Feast“ and was showing at Milan Design Week 2024 at Dopo Space.

“Sit, Feast On Your Life” is a hybrid installation-roundtable-dinner party. Featuring works from over 50 international creatives on a bespoke 10m-long table designed and handcrafted by Felix Pöettinger x EHAM, it explores the power of designed objects as a social binding force through exchanging ideas, sharing food, playing games and music.
