Francesca's Summer Table
Seasonal Essentials
Francesca and Harry are the ultimate hosts at all times of year, but get them to the Hamptons in the summer, and there is no stopping them.
Francesca loves to create a clean look that is not over cluttered. Her vibe is one of beautiful order with a neutral pallet and subtle details. Sparsity is functional, allowing space for platters to be easily passed amongst guests and the food to shine. PORTA heroes for Francesca are the Lauren wine and Gem glasses - the delicacy of the trapped air bubbles in the former and the intensity and elegance of the latter lending restrained personality to the table. Another is the Riga napkin, in this instance bearing a single chic line around the bread.
Harry loves to cook, and they have an extraordinary Argentine asado grill that he often mans. While Francesca takes the time to plan and set the table with her PORTA wares and flowers from the garden, Harry is engaged in his meditative job at the grill. The result is a table and food that match in their thoughtful, delightful simplicity.
