A table centerpiece is more than a decorative object; it is the heart of the table, shaping how a space is felt and experienced. Taho’s center pieces are conceived as sculptural companions to your dining table, crafted to anchor moments both intimate and grand with understated elegance.
Each piece is shaped in-house from brass and aluminium, finished with the care of decades of metalworking expertise, and allowed to age naturally, developing patina that deepens character over time.
The collection includes forms that range from linear, elongated pieces ideal for large dining tables to singular, sculptural objects that define round or compact settings.
Surfaces interact with light throughout the day, catching reflections and shadow in a way that feels alive but never demanding. The weight, scale, and proportion of each piece are considered so that it balances the table rather than overwhelms it.
Taho centerpieces are for those who view interiors as a living composition: every object holds purpose, every finish is intentional. They invite touch, observe change, and respond to their environment. A dining table is transformed from a surface into a stage, where each meal, gathering, or quiet moment is framed by material, form, and thoughtful design.
Taho’s centerpieces exist at the intersection of material honesty and sculptural clarity. Crafted entirely in-house, each piece is a testament to precision, patience, and refined form.
- Architectural Proportions: Balanced for dining tables of varied scale, offering presence without overwhelming.
- Hand-Finished Surfaces: Each graphite, nickel, or brass finish is burnished and patinated to evolve naturally.
- Material Integrity: Solid aluminium forms retain weight and structure; brass patina adds depth over time.
- Versatile Styling: From elongated dining tables to intimate tabletop settings, each piece frames its environment with compositional intelligence.
- Studio Oversight: Every step, from casting to final surface treatment, is controlled in-house to ensure fidelity to design intent.
These are centerpieces for interiors where every object matters, where dining becomes an artful stage, and where material authenticity shapes experience.
The essence of a Taho centerpiece lies in the interplay of material, light, and time. Each element is selected for its tactile quality, visual depth, and ability to evolve gracefully over years.
- Aluminium-Graphite Finish: Crisp, modern, and precise, offering subtle architectural weight while maintaining a light presence on the table.
- Aluminium-Nickel Antique: Softly reflective, developing gentle variations with age that accentuate form and texture.
- Aluminium-Brass Antique: Warm and memory-rich, naturally gaining patina to record the passage of time.
- Aluminium-Brass Antique & Patina: A dual-toned finish that highlights contrast, creating visual depth and subtle variation.
- Horn/Resin-Natural Finish: Organic, warm, and tactile, each piece carries inherent patterns and textures, unique to the material, adding a human, sensory quality to the table.
All surfaces are intentionally left unsealed, allowing them to age naturally. Over time, every dining table centerpiece becomes more than an object, it becomes a quiet witness to shared meals, conversations, and the evolving story of a home.
Centerpieces are essential to defining the character of a table without overwhelming it. They set the tone for the entire dining experience, bridging form, material, and atmosphere in subtle yet powerful ways.
- Layer Heights: Mix taller forms with low-profile pieces to introduce dimension while maintaining compositional balance.
- Material Contrasts: Pair brass and aluminium pieces to create an understated interplay of texture and tone.
- Complement the Table: Place these dining table decor on natural wood, stone, or neutral linens to emphasise form, finish, and subtle veining.
- Less is More: Allow each object space to assert itself; avoid cluttering the surface.
- Thoughtful Clustering: Group smaller pieces or combine varying finishes to create visual tension without symmetry, introducing a natural hierarchy of focus.
- Seasonal Adaptation: Pair with simple floral arrangements or fruits for occasional variation, ensuring the sculptural integrity remains at the forefront.
Every placement is intentional, offering an elevated dining experience while highlighting the craftsmanship of the object.
A centerpiece is defined by both form and placement. Its position transforms how a space is perceived and experienced.
- Dining Tables: Linear arrangements suit elongated tables, while singular sculptural pieces work for round or compact surfaces.
- Console Tables & Sideboards: Low-profile centerpieces anchor transitional spaces like entryways or hallways, drawing the eye without cluttering circulation.
- Coffee Tables: Smaller forms can punctuate seating zones, offering sculptural presence without interfering with daily use.
- Open Shelving: Display a select object or two to break architectural voids and introduce material depth.
- Layered Arrangements: Consider combining finishes or forms on shared surfaces to create subtle contrast and hierarchy.
By placing centerpieces thoughtfully, they become essential elements of interior composition, harmonising the table with the surrounding architecture and curating an understated sense of luxury.
These objects are designed to grow more compelling with time, their surfaces recording light, touch, and daily presence. Brass, aluminium, and natural horn or resin develop character rather than losing it, each material evolving in its own subtle rhythm.
- Aluminium Finishes: Dust with a soft, dry cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners to preserve surface clarity.
- Brass Antique: Natural patina develops with time; polishing is unnecessary and may compromise the finish.
- Brass & Patina Combinations: Light dusting is sufficient; exposure to ambient air enhances texture and tone.
- Handling: Avoid scratches or drops; these objects respond to care rather than over-maintenance.
- Environmental Considerations: Keep away from prolonged moisture or direct sunlight to ensure materials evolve naturally.
Over time, each centerpiece becomes a vessel of memory, transforming from a decorative object into a treasured element that reflects both shared meals and the passage of time, embodying the Taho philosophy of permanence and intentional design.
