Thanksgiving Table: John Derian

http://assets5.designsponge.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/derian1.jpg Over the last few weeks, we've shared Thanksgiving tables styled by our favorite artists, designers and shop owners. Our last table, brought to you by artist and designer John Derian, is quite the treat. "I do entertain a bit, so I like functionality and simplicity, but always like to mix it up with a bit of wit," Derian says. Known for his nature-filled aesthetic that evokes images of curiosity cabinets and old-world styles, Derian has crafted a table that is as charming as it is romantic. —Max The napkins are by Lisa Corti; she is based in Italy, but the work is produced in India. These are all hand-block printed; they feel nice to touch, and there are 30 designs (which I find helps guests remember which napkin is theirs). More photos and info after the jump . . .
