Why the 3-Color Scheme Is the Secret to Setting the Table in a Snap
For a summer dinner party on Nantucket, designers Gary McBournie and William Richards embraced a fresh palette of lavender, cornflower blue, and crisp white. We created custom table linens for the occasion, including two sets of embroidered napkins—one with a dragon motif and the other with a pagoda—each finished with our signature Cannes appliqué border to complement the elegant, chinoiserie-inspired setting.
