Talking Tables

It was at her mother’s kitchen table, our founder Clare discovered her love of tablescaping and the joy of bringing people together.

Such was the appeal, Clare made the decision to give up the security of her successful corporate career to launch Talking Tables, from her own kitchen table. Rather than turning to external investors for funding, Clare grew the business organically. To this day it’s very much still a family owned and led business.

The desire to bring people together lies at the heart of everything we do. Something that feels even more poignant having recently experienced long periods of pandemic isolation.

Knowing someone has purchased one of our jazzy tablecloths or laugh-until-your-cheeks-ache after dinner games will never get old. However, it’s not just about making great party pieces for us (although it is a lot of fun), we’re constantly thinking about how we as a company can lower our impact on the planet. Like when we introduced the world’s first recyclable paper cups - something we’re super proud of.

It’s also important to us to make time to give back, whether that be teaming up with charities we care about or having days off to volunteer.
