Talking Tables grew from a simple love of gathering and creating joyful, colorful tablescapes, inspired by founder Clare’s childhood in Scotland where family meals and flower arrangements were a daily ritual. From hosting friends in university dorms to themed dinner parties layered with lively games, Clare’s passion for bringing people together blossomed alongside her journey from a corporate career at IBM to hands-on retail experience at Liberty’s London.

Launched around the millennium, Talking Tables has since evolved into a thriving, family-led business with a global presence—offering fun, thoughtful products that celebrate connection and shared moments at home. Especially through the challenges of 2020, the brand reaffirmed its mission: to help people gather, smile, and make memories, while driving sustainability with innovations like the world’s first recyclable paper party cup and plastic-free packaging. With 50 staff across three countries and products in 60 nations, Talking Tables is all about turning everyday occasions into unforgettable celebrations.
