In another interpretation, South African designer Mally Skok had her 87-year-old mother, Emmie, in mind when she designed her table. “My mom lives in the moment; she loves her life,” Skok explains. “I thought about this bubble of home and family and making good moments that create the future. You’re making your future every single minute.” Skok used her Emmie tablecloth to establish the table’s colorful palette and set each place with cheery, watercolor-painted plates and bowls from her South African–inspired Robberg collection. Skok was also the only designer to make her own chairs specifically for the gala—a set of relaxed, round-backed chairs produced in collaboration with Dowel Furniture.
