Inspired by "the Holidays We Never Want to End", This Joyous Pop-Up Makes a Case for Mismatched Tableware

A rotating gif, showcasing a series of beautifully laid tables decorated with striped, colorful, and mismatched table cloths, along with colorful serveware and flowers, among others.

It's August 10, and if you, like me, grew up anywhere in southern Europe, chances are you are already savoring the nonchalance that comes with this month. August is for catching rays and rest; that's something we observe almost religiously in the Mediterranean. Still, if you, again like me, are sadly not on holiday right now — not just yet, at least — there is something we think you should see.

For the coming three weeks between August 15 and 29, cult Sicilian guesthouse, kitchen, and artist residency CASA LAWA will be taking its joyous culinary universe to London restaurant Rondo at The Hoxton, Holborn, technicolor stripes, seasonal, sun-baked flavors, and convivial setting included.
