    Lunch Is Served — on Destree x Cabana Tableware

    If you follow Geraldine Guyot-Arnault on Instagram, you’re familiar with her passion for fine Mediterranean cuisine — and charming, rustic Provençal table settings.

    Now the cofounder of Destree has gone all in with a tableware collaboration with Cabana, which goes on sale Wednesday at Cabana’s Milan store at 8 Via Borgospesso, and online at destree.com and cabanamagazine.com.

    It marks Destree’s first foray into home decor, drawing inspiration from Guyot-Arnault’s personal taste, her extensive collection of crockery — and Destree’s signature anise green shade.

    The collection spans hand-painted ceramic plates in a novel square shape, linen napkins and tablecloths, plus some belts and pouches embellished with French passementerie.

    Martina Mondadori, founder and editor in chief of Cabana Magazine, described the tie-up as “spontaneous and organic,” given her long friendship with Guyot-Arnault, celebrated with dinners in each other’s honor — and a shared passion for beautiful table settings and vintage finds.

    “She really has, not only a passion, but such an eye for it,” Mondadori enthused. What’s more, “we have a very similar aesthetic when it comes to a lot of things, and so it was really easy and organic.”

    Guyot-Arnault said she’s been collecting tableware for years, scouring antique and flea markets all over the world, including in Tokyo, where she once found “amazing plates” that she wrapped as carefully as possible and tossed in her suitcase. “And they arrived in perfect condition,” she said.

    “I always end up with a lot of special pieces, very dear to my heart that I then try very hard to put them together.”

    “It’s about the spirit of discovery,” Mondadori agreed, recounting the roots of her interiors-focused businesses in traveling and sourcing.

    Founded in 2014, Cabana is a biannual magazine and retailer dedicated to home decor and tableware. The site currently stocks collaborations with Antik Batik, Ulla Johnson and Schumacher.

    “Collaborations are the perfect way for me to express myself in different fields,” said Guyot-Arnault, who cofounded Destree in 2016, initially focused on hats, handbags and jewelry, later expanding into ready-to-wear. Geometric shapes recur across all categories.

    Mondadori acknowledged it was a challenge to find the right artisans to realize Destree’s square plates, entirely hand-painted in Italy.

    But both women are dedicated to preserving such rare craft skills, and exalt how special they are.

    They plan to celebrate their partnership with an open-air lunch Wednesday at Passalacqua near Lake Como and a trunk show the following day at Casa Cabana.
