Setting the table for the holidays
In a radio programme from 1945, Estrid Ericson described the comfort found in the familiar. Here, she shared tips on table settings while vividly portraying an inspiring holiday table setting:
"It is Boxing Day. The table is ready for the traditional family dinner, radiant with the Christmas spirit. The table is always set in the same way. No one in the family would want it to change. Every now and then over the years, they long for it. That is the charm of our Swedish Christmas, that it is so rich in traditions - spiritual and material."
This year's Christmas table setting at Svenskt Tenn follows traditional themes. A classic red tablecloth, candied apples, tall candlesticks, and personalised gifts for each guest.
