Our Story
Meet Table Two Studio
Gabrielle Amato and Carolyn Hakansson met in 2013 while living in NYC, working as interns in the fashion industry. They immediately bonded over their love of design, aesthetics, hosting, and delicious meals.
For the last 15 years, they've been dreaming of the perfect opportunity to collaborate, using Gabrielle’s experience in e-commerce and marketing, and Carolyn’s in design and art direction.
In 2024, Gabrielle welcomed her first baby, and Carolyn was deep in the whirlwind of building her career in art direction. Between nap schedules, work deadlines, and everyday chaos, the idea of hosting friends, dinner parties, and even casual occasions felt completely overwhelming.
Table Two Studio was created with busy lives and full tables in mind.
Each piece in the collection, from luxury paper plates with hand-drawn artwork to bespoke linens made to mix and match, was designed to make setting the table feel effortless, elevated, and inspired.
We believe that even the smallest gathering deserves to feel special, and that beauty shouldn’t be sacrificed just because time is short.
We’re here for the spontaneous dinner party, the Sunday brunch that somehow turned into twelve guests, and the baby shower you’re hosting between meetings. Table Two Studio is about simplifying the art of entertaining—so you can enjoy more moments at the table, and less time stressing over it.
Our Featured Artist
Katharine Reynolds is the featured artist for Table Two Studio. A lifelong creative, she has been painting and drawing for as long as she can remember. Inspired by the beauty found in everyday moments, and as a busy mom-to-be, partnering with Table Two Studio on the design of sophisticated paper plates was a welcome adventure.
As Gabrielle’s childhood friend and a fellow lover of hosting and thoughtful details, Katharine was a natural choice to help bring Table Two’s vision to life — dreaming up designs that celebrate connection, creativity, and gathering around the table.
