Guest Picks: Mod Dining

This origami-inspired chair in a fresh color — my favorite color — plays against the simplicity of the round table. It's the perfect pop of color.

This is the classic bubble pendant with a twist. The criss-cross pattern adds an edge to this staple of mid-century modern design.

Normally I prefer white plates because I feel they go with everything, but these gray plates would pop against the white table and look amazing with the gold flatware.

On those special occasions when you need something fancy, amp it up with these tree-themed, gold-toned plates and bowls.

These napkins give off the perfect dash of texture and casualness.

With the gold flatware and the gold-trimmed plates, these napkins are the perfect pairing.

This smaller decanter would look great paired with the other larger decanter. Alone, it's perfect for wine, water or flowers.

When you're using a smaller table, I think it's best not to add too much visual weight to it. These mugs do that well.

You'll need a tray to bring all of your delicious food to the table. In a gray lacquer, this one will be easy to clean and stylish to boot.

The iconic Dansk ice bucket is a must-have for any modern dining room. There is no match for its modern lines, which were inspired by viking ships.
