The most important table and dinner in our history is that of the Last Supper. The Last Supper is the final meal that, in the gospel accounts, Jesus shared with his apostles in Jerusalem before his crucifixion.
This is no ordinary dinner, but it is filled with symbolism, indicating both the beginning of the end and the start of the new, as well as giving fresh meaning to various symbols as Jesus broke the bread, drank the wine and washed the feet of his disciples.
It is much less about the dinner and much more about the symbols and significance behind the acts performed and the food eaten. That is also the message we want to convey with Tabili.
Therefore, our first edition is called, The First Supper - it will simultaneously resemble “The Last Supper” , as well as the first Tabili dinner, combined in a new and fitting format. With this launch we want to highlight and convey the message and importance of the table, as it was also already apparent more than 2000 years ago.
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.
