1. Iridescent flatware set, ABC Carpet & Home
Made in Italy, this stainless-steel flatware hypnotizes diners with dreamy waves of color.
2. Frankford Clay Pit vases, BDDW

3. Large Casca bowl, Anna by RabLabs
The textured exterior of this solid, hand-carved semi-precious gemstone is covered in electroplated 24-karat gold, resulting in a receptacle that doubles as a work of art.

Created by Yabu Pushelberg for Pampaloni, this quirky, sterling silver set of ocean animal–inspired objects marked the designer’s first tabletop collection when it was introduced, in 2013.

Like coats of paint, each layer of this striking dish is poured individually by hand, creating impromptu, one-of-a-kind swirls in every piece.
6. Hippopotamus sculpture, Lalique
Part of the French crystal brand’s just-released Nature Sauvage collection, this transparent mini-mammal is a fun centerpiece—and doubles as a smartphone holder.
