THE FLÂNEURS
Meet Maria de la Orden, Founder of La Veste, Madrid
In this rapid-fire interview, we sit down with Maria de la Orden, the brilliant mind behind La Veste homeware, for a glimpse into her design philosophy and creative inspirations. Get ready for a lightning round of questions to discuss her vision, her favourite place to shop homeware and where she likes to travel to.
Was homeware a logical evolution for La Veste?
Yes! We were wanting to launch it for a long time. We kept imagining our fabrics and trimmings on the table so we decided to go for it! We first started launching our lamp collection using the same fabrics as in our garments and it was a great success so we knew our clients were receptive to homewear.
Can you tell us about your dream table?
For a spring lunch in the garden my dream table would need a colorful tablecloth, vintage plates, fresh flowers from the garden, hand painted glasses, raffia bread baskets..
Can you give us three tips about the perfect dinner party?
Good food, good wine, and a beautiful table set up!
