Stephanie Stokes has spent a career as one of New York's finest interior designers thinking about how rooms come together — and this book brings that same intelligence to the table itself. Place settings, tablecloths, flowers, glassware, the particular quality of a beautifully set lunch — it is all here, and the photographs are extraordinary. For anyone who believes that the table is a room in itself, and that setting it well is one of the great domestic arts.
