When you go into caves occupied by the earliest versions of humans, you find a central common area marked by the ancient remains of a fire. These days, in response to that old desire to circle around with the people who matter, we gather at the table.

Maybe it’s littered with toast crumbs and purée the baby has taken to flinging, or maybe it’s decorated with candles and the plates you’ve been wanting to show off. Either way, the table (and all that goes on top and around it) is fundamental to the feeling of hearth and home.

So, peruse this round-up of the very best in tabletop (here on the show floor!) and give the archeologists of the distant future something worth examining.
