Royal Copenhagen 2015 Christmas Tables

November 29, 2015 by Jane F Leave a Comment

Royal Copenhagen 2015 Christmas - Christmas morning bedroom vignette with Star Fluted Christmas china - Royal Copenhagen via AtticmagRoyal Copenhagen 2015 Christmas “happy–lovely” tables show ideas from Danish comedians and actors.

The Royal Copenhagen 2015 Christmas tables debuted November 20th in the porcelain manufacturer’s Copenhagen store. This is the 52nd annual Christmas event which, thanks to the internet, can be seen by millions of tablescape fans around the globe. This year’s theme  “Happy Christmas — Lovely Christmas,” is based on tables created by six leading Danish comedians and entertainers, a group of celebs that may not be well known outside Scandinavia  It’s an eclectic group and I’m pleased to include these Royal Copenhagen 2015 Christmas tables for the seventh year here at Atticmag.

One of my favorites this year isn’t a dining room table — it’s a breakfast-in-the-bedroom set up. A girly, lace-draped four-poster bed is the landing spot on Christmas morning for a mom and two children. There, at the foot of the bed, they can enjoy breakfast on RC’s Star Fluted Christmas service — dishes with their spruce garlands, satin bows, hearts, drums and angels mixed into the swagged border design — while opening their gifts under the nearby tree.

The Star Fluted Christmas china shows details of the festive design. And Danish actress and comedienne Mia Lyhne as mom/creator, pouring tea.

Royal Copenhagen 2015 Christmas - Icy blue table with Blue Elements china by actor/director Jarl Friis-Mikkelsen- Royal Copenhagen via AtticmagA transparent glass prism enclosing a table against an icy “l’heure bleu” background is the cerebral theme for a table setting by Jarl Friis-Mikkelsen, a TV host and humorist. Lovely, and vey adult, this table is like a visual poem to winter. It exudes iciness, no?

Red dots on each napkin humorously mark the spot that says “you are here” — much like finding where your location on a shopping mall map at Christmas time.

Royal Copenhagen 2015 Christmas - South Jutland cake table by Bodil Jørgensen with White Fluted Half Lace china - Royal Copenhagen via AtticmagDoesn’t everyone love an old-fashioned Scandinavian farm cottage kitchen with an antique painted corner cabinet and Dutch door? Then there’s the table laden with baked goodies liked cream cakes and the Danish version of kugelhopf.
Royal Copenhagen 2015 Christmas - South Jutland cake table by Bodil Jørgensen with White Fluted Half Lace china - Royal Copenhagen via AtticmagThis vignette has a come-on-in-and-sit-right-down warmth embodied by actress Bodil Jørgensen’s South Jutlandic farmer’s wife character in a popular TV series. (South Jutland is the area of the Danish peninsula that borders Germany). The set up is a bit of a fantasy with the farm table and stools, homespun gathered skirted sideboard and display shelves over the window plus a country style Blue Flower tile backsplash (which matches the china).

If only there were recipes available for all these sweet goodies!

Royal Copenhagen 2015 Christmas - Old Copehagen tavern table by Peter Frödin with Blue Fluted china - Royal Copenhagen via AtticmagDanes love their beer and tall glasses filled with schnaps along with traditional open-face sandwiches. A Christmas table in a modern tavern, by Danish actor and singer Peter Frödin, pays hommage to that aesthetic with sandwich replicas rendered in marzipan. I also adore the very tall silver candelabra on this table as the candlelight adds a special conviviality.

Back in the 1960s, when the Danish modern style was the height of chic, Blue Fluted was a top china pattern for brides. There’s a lady eating at this place setting — can you spot the telltale sign?

Royal Copenhagen 2015 Christmas - Out of Africa Christmas table by Kirsten Lehfeldt using Black Fluted Mega china - Royal Copenhagen via AtticmagDanish comedian Kirsten Lehfeldt ’s quirky African safari Christmas table immediately brings to mind the famed Danish author Isak Dinesen (a.k.a. Baroness Karen von Blixen-Finecke) whose story of like in Kenya was dramatized by Meryl Steep in the 1985 film Out of Africa. So here we have a giraffe standing guard outside the tent.

The animals have joined in. And this low table is so elaborate there’s a great deal of equipment to pack for safari!

A rough linen tablecloth and napkins work well with the wilderness theme. While Christmas in Kenya is a long detour from Copenhagen, Ms. Lehfeldt’s table adds an exotic non-European touch along with a helping of romance, adventure and detailed decoration.

Royal Copenhagen 2015 Christmas - Gilded Christmas living room by Martin Buch and Rasmus Botoft aka the snobs with Flora Danica porcelain - Royal Copenhagen via AtticmagThe snobs — Fritz and Poul — are fictional characters from The Cavalry, a Danish satirical series. Played by Martin Buch and Rasmus Botoft, the pretentious pair have done up their  staid living room for Christmas — complete with their portraits over the mantel.

(You may recall that King FrederickV of Denmark commissioned the Flora Danica encyclopedia of botanical illustrations in 1761. By 1790, Flora Danica was the theme for a banquet service — the first production of this historic gilded dish ware.)

Note the monogrammed cloth napkins — another special touch.
