Christmas Dining with Father Rabbit and Jess' Underground Kitchen

I recently joined forces with Father Rabbit to create a festive dining setting with pieces from their beautiful Christmas dining collection. In true Father Rabbit style, we wanted to create a bright, warm and fuss-free setting. Christmas is a time for creating traditions, and we wanted to capture the feel of what this means - using those special pieces of dinnerware that have been passed down from generation to generation, and bringing out the Christmas tree decorations made lovingly by the kids from year to year. 

The Bordallo Pinheiro is one of my favourite collections from the Father Rabbit Christmas dining range. The distinctive green earthenware provides a pop of colour against the monochrome and features exquisite hand-painted detailing throughout. For this setting I chose the Cabbage Cheese Tray, Cabbage Bowls and Holly Teapot, which along with the Holly Cake Stand make the perfect Christmas dining accessories. 

Some of my other favourite pieces include the classic mid-century style oak and birch Malmo Chairs, the unique hand-blown Bilia Tumblers, and the Leaf Serveware, which pairs beautifully with the Bordallo range. When it came to choosing dinner and side plates, I found that Father Rabbit have an extensive selection ranging from fine bone china and classic white ceramic pieces through to muted off-white earthenware and organic shapes. It was a hard choice but I decided to go with the handcrafted Perla range which features a gorgeous raised dotted trim. The freshly picked-from-the-garden style flowers with a nod to Father Rabbit's popular Botanical printed linen are housed in the beautiful Rolled Edge Vase. 

Of course A Christmas dining setting wouldn't be complete without the festive feast, and Father Rabbit enlisted Jess' Underground Kitchen to create an inspiring spread from one of the delicious Christmas Hampers that are on offer. This was paired with the beautiful Serisin Chardonnay from WineFriend, which we served in the Plumm Vintage chardonnay glasses.
