Nourishment

Nourishment can be defined as the action of nourishing someone or something, containing of substances necessary for growth, health, and good condition. To embody the theme we hosted a nourishing picnic for body, mind, and soul, by means of good food, meaningful conversation starters, and heart-felt connection. 

Together with Lena Ghaninejad we curated a menu that aimed to nourish us from within made up of ingredients that provide us with either good health, fulfillment of nutrient needs, or simple delight. Luna Faye worked on our 40 square meter blue and white checkered picnic blanket. 

Throughout history, there has been a recognition that food can serve as not only a physical but also a psychological form of nourishment. In the Old Testament, the story of Elijah and the angel comes to mind (I Kings 19:3-8, New King James Version).

Elijah was weary and depressed, depleted and emotionally spent, wishing for his death. It was through the intervention of an angel providing food to him that he became deeply nourished. It was not just the food, but the well-timed, loving care of the angel that fed his body, mind, and soul.

Now, we at Tabili, would also like to bring something to your table. In collaboration with Carly Woalert, we proudly present our first ceramic tableware collection: “THE TABLE GUESTS”. This collection is inspired by each and everyone that has taken a seat at our table so far. The collection consists of 5 items that will hopefully provide a benefit to your table at home. Each item resembles one of the core values that together make up the essence of the table - connection (1), cultural exchange and knowledge enhancement (2), openness (3), safety and vulnerability (4), and meaningful gathering (5). All are the continuing table guests of Tabili. 

What do you bring to the table?

The collection is designed, produced and handcrafted in Amsterdam with lots of care and attention using wheel throwing and handbuilding techniques. Please note that everything is handmade and we like our products to look as such - imperfection is perfect to us. No creation is an exact duplicate: our items bear variations in shape, colour and size. 

Carly Wollaert
Carly has been under the spell of the craft of making ceramics since 2019, addicted to the freedom of being able to create almost anything she’d like by turning clay into a vessel. Hours fly by when she gets into a meditative state of throwing or handbuilding. 

For Carly, the perfect balance between functionality and aesthetics is key. In her own life, she’s very particular in using specific objects for different occasions, as she feels they contribute to the experience- every occasion, dish or drink asks for certain shapes, colors and tactility. She believes joy is to be found in the small things, and for her, being mindful in choosing the things we surround ourselves with contributes to that. She hopes many nourishing moments for the mind, body and soul will be spent whilst using her ceramics.
