For this book, Von Furstenberg has chosen over thirty eclectic tables that reflect her philosophy of entertaining. From formal dining rooms to cozy breakfast nooks to places for creative office lunches, they give us a peek into the lives of her stylish friends and acquaintances. Von Furstenberg's own country house and Manhattan apartment are featured, along with C. Z. Guest's sun porch, Dolly Parton's pied-a-terre, Francesco Clemente's studio, a room inspired by Marie Antoinette, a table set in honor of the legendary decorator Elsie de Wolfe, a Moroccan tent at a Hamptons beach house, and other equally imaginative tableaux. The sumptuous photographs are enhanced by the favorite recipes and menus of the hosts, and by helpful notes on china and table settings.
