When Lindsay Emery creates one of her handmade porcelain pieces for her tableware company Suite One Studio, she’s not just focused on the finished product, but is already thinking ahead to how that piece will be used come mealtime. “Food factors into my design process in a huge, fundamental way,” she says. The pieces in her vintage tableware collection for Chairish prove she takes joy in much more than just plates and bowls. “We believe time at the table is some of the best in life and this collection is curated with that in mind.” With so many gorgeous entertaining gems to choose from, the only thing missing was the food. We asked Lindsay to share one of her favorite dishes to make come fall, and this delicious pumpkin soup recipe is one you’ll definitely want to add to your cold-weather repertoire.
