Tablescape Narratives

A collection of stories spanning decades and continents, bringing to life the artful, elaborate, resourceful and often inspired decorative table settings, which reach beyond the culinary feasts they hold, to take us on a journey of creative abundance.

Dilukshi Senanayake brings together 13 artisans from both Sri Lanka and Australia within the hardbound covers of this coffee table book, letting the reader uncover fascinating stories of family and friends, of bygone years, of wanderlust, and of future promises. The stories are accompanied by the visual poetry of photographers Mayu Medis, Sam Cooper and Susan Foxlee, transporting the reader to their very own seat at every table.

This is a book that fondly chronicles stories from the author’s past and present, gently tugging the reader towards new, magical worlds that are theirs to create and enjoy in the future.
