Welcome to TGP Tidbits where we round up the happenings and our musings of the design industry each week. This week we take a look at Summerill & Bishop and Wentworth Celebrate the Art of Gathering, Frederic’s It List, and Hill House Home x Williams Sonoma. Written by Natalie Aldridge.
Summerill & Bishop and Wentworth Celebrate the Art of Gathering
There are few things we love more than a beautifully set table, particularly one set beneath the open sky. That sentiment was on full celebration in Charleston, where luxury British table linen house Summerill & Bishop partnered with local home and lifestyle brand Wentworth for an immersive installation inspired by Hieronymus Bosch’s The Garden of Earthly Delights.
Developed by Wentworth founder G. Blake Sams and staged throughout a private residence and its surrounding gardens, the experience invited guests to wander between lushly layered tablescapes, floral-filled vignettes, and enchanting outdoor settings, transforming the property into a living expression of Summerill & Bishop’s joyful approach to outdoor entertaining.
At the heart of the installation was Summerill & Bishop’s beloved collection of linens and entertaining pieces, displayed exactly as they were intended to be enjoyed. Vibrant patterns, stunning florals, and thoughtfully styled tables created a beautiful moment that blurred the line between home, garden, and art while celebrating the importance of gathering together.
As daylight faded, the festivities transitioned into an intimate dinner hosted by Blake Sams and the Summerill & Bishop team. In an era of rushed meals and endless distractions, there is something refreshing about a brand choosing to celebrate the ritual of gathering. If this installation proved anything, it is that a beautifully set table remains one of life’s simplest yet most meaningful expressions of friendship.

Frederic’s It List
Few honors within the design world have become as closely watched as Frederic’s annual It List. Now in its fourth year, the list has quickly established itself as one of the industry’s most influential meters of rising talent.

This week, Editor in Chief Dara Caponigro announced the Class of 2026, recognizing eleven designers from across the globe, including London, Amsterdam, Stockholm, New York, Los Angeles, Atlanta, and Tennessee. This year’s honorees are Claes Dalén, Danielette Dennis, Samantha Feuer of Norris Studio, Todd Hellmuth, Frances Jackson, Michael Joerres, Brian Jones, Brooke Michie, Georgie Stogdon, Alex Yanke of Westbourne Studio, and Bob van Zonneveld.

What makes the It List particularly noteworthy is the eye behind it. Long before launching Frederic, Dara built a reputation as one of design media’s great talent spotters through her leadership roles at Veranda, Domino, Elle Décor, and House Beautiful. Her endorsement carries weight, and increasingly, so does inclusion on the It List. The list also comes out at the five year anniversary of Frederic magazine making this an exciting moment for the publication.

For designers at the beginning of their careers, recognition can be transformative. The It List has become more than an annual award. It is a glimpse into the future of interior design and a reminder that today’s emerging talents are often tomorrow’s household names.
Hill House Home x Williams Sonoma
At this point, it may be easier to ask where Hill House Home isn’t. Fresh off its charming collaboration with Roller Rabbit, Nell Diamond’s lifestyle phenomenon has now arrived at the table with a delightful new collection for Williams Sonoma.
The collection brings Hill House’s signature romantic Americana look to outdoor entertaining, complete with garden-inspired dinnerware, striped linens, playful vegetable motifs, and pieces that feel destined for long lunches and summer suppers. Think cabbages, carrots, tomatoes, and cheerful stripes rendered in the brand’s distinctly polished yet whimsical style.
For those who only know Hill House through its wildly popular Nap Dress, the collaboration serves as a reminder that the company actually began as a home brand before expanding into fashion. In many ways, this latest venture feels like a return to its roots, bringing the same sense of nostalgia, femininity, and everyday beauty that made the brand a favorite in the first place.
There seems to be a renewed appreciation for the art of entertaining, and we are here for it. Following on the heels of Summerill & Bishop’s dreamy Charleston celebration of outdoor dining, this collaboration is another reminder that some of life’s greatest pleasures are found around the table. After all, if there’s one thing Hill House understands, it’s how to make even the simplest of moments feel a little more special. Shop the full collection here!
