An ode to the mighty breakfast table. There’s no better lifestyle to take inspiration from than that of the Swiss. Known as ‘frühstück’ in German-speaking regions or ‘petit déjeuner’ for the French, breakfast is a meal shared together with an abundance of delicious fresh, local produce. So what do you actually need to master the art of Swiss tablescaping? Here’s everything you need to know.

The star of the table should always be the porcelain. Whether you choose to enjoy cereal or opt for pastries instead, a beautiful dish is necessary to its enjoyment. With its elegantly fine sketches, Bernardaud’s Albertine collection delicately dresses each piece through a foliage-inspired décor.

No tablescape is complete without the sophistication of silverware. Christofle elevates every setting with its elegant designs, making every meal feel special. The Mood cutlery set offers functionality and can create an eye-catching centerpiece, while the Albi pastry stand and butter dish are worthy accompaniments.

The final touches come in the form of tea or coffee sets. When laying a table for breakfast, always include a selection of beverage holders so that guests can have the pleasure of deciding which they fancy. Normally in Swiss tradition, juice is offered alongside tea and coffee as well as hot chocolate for children. Bon appétit!
