LIVING BY DESIGN: Table Setting

A Lebanese tablecloth from one of my favourite shops in Paris: Liwan, 8 Rue Saint-Sulpice, 75006. A brown bandana napkin on an octagonal speckled plate.  In the centre of the table is a Burmese rice bowl - in lacquer and mother-of-pearl - with its silver containers for temple offerings. The horned container, designed by Phillipe Starck, has a top that comes off and houses a grater for parmesan cheese.
