There's a version of hosting that's really just performance — the right flowers, the right lighting, a table set for photos rather than people. And then there's the version we care about, where all of that is just the frame, and the actual point is who's sitting inside it.
On 15 July, we hosted a dinner built around two things close to our heart: celebrating the Peppa Hart collection our community already knows and loves, and giving a small room of people we admire the very first look at what's coming next.
Setting the Table
Every piece on the table that night was Peppa Hart — a collection we designed to be used, not just looked at. There's something particularly satisfying about watching a table fill up their plates and bowls with pieces you made.
Paired with our brass candlesticks, deep red roses and peony arrangements, and a menu that leaned fully into an Italian supper club mood rounded out the room — pasta, porchetta, orata, tiramisu and enough wine to keep the table talking well past dessert.
A First Look at Supper Club
Tucked in among the courses was the real reason for the night: our next collection, Supper Club. Est. 1988. Members only, for now.
Espresso cups, ashtrays, and coasters — the small, ritual objects of a long dinner that goes on past the meal itself, and an ode to old-world glamour.
It's the first time this collection has been in a room with people outside our own team, and watching guests pick up the pieces, turn them over, ask questions — that's the kind of feedback no mood board can give you.
More details on Supper Club, including timing and availability, are coming very soon.
The Room Itself
If we're honest, the tableware and the new collection were only ever half the reason for the evening. The other half was the room — a small group of founders, creators and friends whose work we genuinely admire, brought together around one table instead of scattered across our respective inboxes and DMs.
There's a version of business that happens over email, and a version that happens over a bowl of tiramisu at 9pm. We'll take the second one every time.
What We're Carrying Into the Rest of 2026
Every one of these dinners ends up teaching us something we didn't expect going in. This one reminded us that the best version of what we do isn't really about the product — it's about building the kind of community that makes a product worth making. Slowing down for a three-hour dinner instead of a fifteen-minute meeting. Letting people touch and question and sit with something new before it's ever for sale. Choosing depth with a smaller room over reach with a bigger one.
We're carrying all of that into the rest of the year, along with a very full stomach and a genuine excitement for what Supper Club becomes once it's out in the world.
Thank you to everyone who sat at the table with us. This is exactly the kind of night No.22 was built for — and we've already started thinking about the next one.
