WHAT CAN NOT BE MISSING FROM A TABLE AT THE EXVOTOS?
My dear. Both daily and in special celebrations, we always set the table as if it were a holiday, because the essential thing is that it is real, that you live it and that it is open to any friend who passes hungry.
AND TANGIBLE THINGS?
Natural elements according to season: pomegranates, lemons, aromatic. We have ceramic containers and Triana lebrillos that we fill with thyme, orange blossom … And the dining room becomes something explosive. Every week we change the decoration because we like to be surprised.
WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO MOUNT THIS ONE?
In the courtyards that we remember from our childhood and in the daily nature of Seville, with its light and color. All the flowers in the dining room come from ours and, together with the Confetti crockery, cutlery and tablecloth pay homage to the new season with its festive atmosphere, celebration of the sun and the first outdoor meals. Setting a good table is an art of life, which like this one, must be enjoyed to the fullest.
WHAT DETAILS GUARANTEE SUCCESS IN A CELEBRATION?
Along with what we have said before and in the same dose, a good homemade meal, like that of our mothers. Just as when setting the table we look for naturalness, the same happens to us with the kitchen. Daniel has a saying “whoever comes to my house, I will give him what I am” and that also includes the authenticity of the food that is going to be served.

“Antiques come looking for us,” they say, such as the dining lamp in wood and linen, made from a spinning wheel or the Prado cotton and silk tablecloth, hand-painted by them. “We buy antique pieces of fabric and then paint and decorate them,” they explain.
