Join us for a day centered on design, entertaining, and thoughtful interiors at Newport Lamp & Shade Company.
On Wednesday, July 15th, our Newport, Rhode Island showroom will host a special trunk show and book signing event featuring These Entertaining People, a distinctive tabletop and entertaining brand, alongside acclaimed interior designer Libby Cameron in celebration of her new book, Notes from a Decorator’s Life.

Tabletop Inspiration
These Entertaining People was founded by Tatiana Martin, whose eye for considered table settings informs the brand’s collection. The styling ideas shared alongside its pieces draw on seasonal color, handmade ceramics, and the pleasure of gathering around a meal. In autumn, changing leaves and the return to familiar routines can guide a table’s palette; for a midday gathering, a favorite game or a vivid Mahjong set can provide a starting point for the decor.
French Pottery and Collected Pieces
One tablescape takes its cue from La Tuile à Loup, a Parisian source for handmade tableware by artisans across France. Its more rustic ceramics show how varied forms and handmade surfaces can bring character to a setting. Collecting pieces over time and building a table around them offers an alternative to matching every element, while keeping the arrangement grounded in objects with personal meaning.
