Event designer, florist, and caterer Tammy Polatsek added “dishware designer” to her resume last year when she launched Carmona New York & Company, an almost 350-piece collection of fine porcelain dishes that aims to unite design and function, in modern, unusual shapes. The dishes, pictured here displaying fall menu items from New York caterer Thomas Preti Events to Savor, are all manufactured in the same white bone porcelain so everything matches. The line is available online for shipping worldwide, and custom dishes are also an option.
