Johanna Ortiz always loved setting a beautiful table. But over the years, she lost track of that love. After all, runningand taking care of three young boys doesn’t exactly leave a lot of free time to ruminate over flatware positioning. Let alone what to even put on those artisanal plates: “I never cooked!” Ortiz says, laughing.
But the pandemic made life slow down. And for the first time in a long time, Ortiz rediscovered her affinity for arranging—how a well-appointed tablecloth can elevate even a hastily-ordered takeout dinner, how different sized glasses could double as decor, how flowers, or colorful fruits, can lighten any mood. Sure, it wasn’t anything too formal , nor was it anything sizable . Yet Ortiz found joy in the art of the table. “I’ve always enjoyed dressing up,” she says.
One final requirement? A little bit of character. There’s nothing in Ortiz’s collection that doesn’t, well, look distinctly Ortiz. You’re not exactly going to mistake glass salt and pepper shakers topped with a mini palm tree for another brand, nor the olive and vinegar carafes adorned with a bright blue bird. As Ortiz puts it, “I wanted everything to have personality.”
