Tablescape One sidetable - four designs | Babs Haenen

Inspiration, that is the main aim of this magazine. So we thought why not invite four different people to make a display on the same table, each in their own way using pieces from our collection and their own personal objects. As this project unfolded, we were amazed and delighted by the results. They are all entirely different and equally wonderful.
