At the heart of the tables, the lemon ceramic candle holders — sunny, whimsical, and full of Sicilian charm. Walshe used them to bring brightness and warmth, paired with hand-painted cheese and aubergine ceramics by the same brilliant Diego Nine, which added just the right amount of humour without ever feeling kitsch.

Their irregular forms and joyful palette brought a sense of texture and movement, while the Green Check Scalloped Candle Holders by Rosie Gore grounds the whole look with their soft pattern and generous organic shape.
