In today's minimalist world, it is great to see decorative and significant tableware make a comeback! From decorative cake dishes to rustic wooden cutting boards and traditional kansa utensils, many modern households are placing a purpose on the beauty of function and form. These items are served for dining or entertaining, conversation starters, style statements, and tributes to history.
An Insight intoVictorian Roots Of Cake Stands
The cake display stand became a signal of elegance in the Victorian Era; afternoon tea shifted from a meal to an actual 'event.' In fact, multiple tiered cake stands were featured at afternoon tea and simply adorned with a floral pattern and gold accents. It was a global tradition steeped in ceremony and indulgence, showcasing various cakes, pastries, and sandwiches that were eaten in style and structure.
Today, we see this same spirit in newly designed pieces echoing old-world charm with contemporary appeal, fashion-forward or not! Whether you host a brunch, recover from a holiday party, or just regain your sanity from one too many, a cake stand does more than carry something sweet— it offers up this little moment of heritage and elegance.
Essential Accents for an Aesthetic Lifestyle
In conjunction with tiered stands, we are witnessing homes embracing an assortment of curated items that celebrate mindfulness and tradition. Here are some essentials:
1. Wooden chopping board: More than a kitchen instrument, a great chopping board is also a serving platter for cheese, fruit, and artisanal breads, all while adding warmth and rusticity with its natural grain.
2. Incense holder: If you're looking to create a soothing environment, an incense holder prior to your meal fits the purpose, as it is functional and decorative. Explore hand-carved details or a more modern sculptural shape that adds to your morning routine or meditation routine.
3. Kansa utensils: The kansa materials have long-standing roots in Ayurveda. Appropriate for health, with the muted golden tone that it imparts anywhere it is placed, it brings a vintage look to the table while aiding in digestion and balanced energy.
Whole objects are not merely objects or decoration, but a representation of curating your slow living, a thoughtful host, and your own personal aesthetics.
