Table Energy

Boost your mood, table, and home with the pulsating power of color, print, and pattern in this dazzling celebration of joyful Italian hospitality

In Table Energy, J.J. Martin, author of Mamma Milano: Lessons from the Motherland, brings her radiant Milanese lifestyle brand, LaDoubleJ, to life through a celebration of entertaining, color, and community. Drawing on the exuberant spirit that defines La DoubleJ, the book offers a vibrant journey through Italian gatherings: alfresco lunches in Portofino, candlelit dinners on Lake Como, and sun-drenched feasts in Taormina. Featuring La DoubleJ’s inimitable tabletop collections, each chapter pairs design and pattern with moments of celebration across the seasons: an alfresco lunch in Ischia, an autumn dinner, a festive Christmas gathering, and a dazzling wedding table bursting with flowers and exuberant prints. With luminous photography and witty entertaining tips, this is both a visual feast and a manifesto for joyful living.
