I love a layered tablescape because it feels like dressing a room for a special moment—each piece contributes texture, color and a bit of personality. When I style a table for four using Thukthaeshop’s mixed ceramics, I aim for harmony rather...
I love the drama of a vaulted ceiling and the sense of freedom an open-plan room brings. But I also know the challenge: how do you choose a pendant that feels proportionate, lights the space well and becomes an intentional part of the composition...

Setting a table feels to me like setting the mood for an evening — intimate dinners whisper, casual brunches laugh. Over the years I've learned that the right tableware does more than hold food: it frames the moment. Whether I'm hosting two close...
When I first started curating tableware for Thukthaeshop, I quickly realized that handcrafted ceramics are as much about story and touch as they are about function. I still remember the first time I held a small stoneware bowl from a studio in...
