Pagodas

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Pagodas. Designer Miles Redd likes them. <i>Million Dollar Decorator</i> Mary McDonald collects them. Tony Duquette, the late costume and set designer and decorator, created many of them. These multi-tiered structures with upward-tilting roofs are associated with chinoiserie (a fanciful European interpretation of Chinese styles that originated during the 17th- and 18th-centuries due to increased trade with East Asia), but this type of architecture was first introduced to China when Buddhism entered the country. Buddhism originated in India where the earliest pagodas were built to house religious relics. Pagodas now adorn tablesettings, wallcoverings, calling cards and beds - lending an air of whimsy and fantasy to a space . . .</span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvdtkOUL7ksKe9iTHApBrFvs2nb8EwZwFpTZoQFTawfM6OPMQ2QT48YS32UE9aF4RHYpVJ_cydqNo9094GSVEnKzPRZbjkjRmU65XLu7mKuqau1xXmtIRR7lfcbyb2H-aCiCvyewk2Devs/s1600/01-hbx-alessandra-branca-tablescape-0414-tK3pQl-lgn.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvdtkOUL7ksKe9iTHApBrFvs2nb8EwZwFpTZoQFTawfM6OPMQ2QT48YS32UE9aF4RHYpVJ_cydqNo9094GSVEnKzPRZbjkjRmU65XLu7mKuqau1xXmtIRR7lfcbyb2H-aCiCvyewk2Devs/s1600/01-hbx-alessandra-branca-tablescape-0414-tK3pQl-lgn.jpg" width="560" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"I set tables for fun — they're not too formal. That's how I live. I love to mix old and new, different cultures and multiple textures, and I like to play with color. I used contemporary Venetian glasses alongside dishes I designed with updated classical patterns . . . Instead of a single large flower arrangement, I grouped small containers of bouquets in the center of the table. And whenever I find great salt and pepper shakers, I buy them! Collect when you see things, not just when you need them." </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Fiamma and Pagoda chargers, dinner plates, bowls, and canapé plates and faux-bamboo flatware: <a href="http://branca.com/">branca.com</a>.
