About Us

Now more than ever before, gathering around the table is so important. Whether it’s a Sunday roast with the family, a supper with friends or a simple dinner for two, mealtimes should be given time and dedication, turning them from a necessity into a ceremony, one where laughter, communication and true connection are the order of the day.

Tara O’Connor – a long-time devotee to table scaping – wants to bring everyone back to the table to celebrate the everyday. Tara’s passion for setting a beautiful table stems from both a successful career in PR and events spanning more than 25 years as well as her upbringing, right through to her personal love of entertaining. Tara has styled countless events and tables, and her passion for tablescaping led her to create her own range of table linens and accessories inspired by the countryside and forests near her home in Co Kildare and filled with vibrant colours and prints that all work together to create a range of looks to suit the individual’s own style, and the occasion. Whether it’s a formal dinner party or a family feast, The Designed Table has everything to create the perfect setting for a memorable gathering.
