Art on the Table

A cookbook reimagined for Christofle’s 2023 holiday campaign, "Art on the Table" celebrates the rituals of gathering and the timeless art of entertaining. It explores how table settings—like recipes and family heirlooms—inspire stories of connection and creativity.

"Art on the Table" pairs Christofle’s heritage with fresh perspectives, featuring six New York creatives—Laila Gohar & Ignacio Mattos, Laura Kim, Gabriella Khalil, Alina Cho, and Michael Bargo—each interpreting the holidays through their own lens. Recipes, hosting tips, and personal stories come together in this intimate portrait of modern entertaining.

Photographers captured real moments at home, with each host sharing their unique style and favorite Christofle collections. The book was designed to evoke the charm of family cookbooks, blending the tactile beauty of print with digital formats to preserve stories for today and tomorrow.
