The collection includes everything from napkins, placemats and tablecloths to cocktail napkins, bread baskets, bowls, and candle holders. (That’s just to name a select few—there’s a “little bit of everything,” says Ortiz.) Design aficionados will immediately recognize hallmarks of Ortiz’s style: there are palm trees and raffia tassels aplenty, as well as recycled prints from archival collections. "Johanna’s tabletop collection is just like her runway collections—tropical, elegant and fun. I love the artisanal touches and archival prints. There’s a party in every place setting,” Lauren Santo Domingo, founder of Moda Operandi, tells Vogue.
Ortiz hired artisans from across her home country of Colombia to bring her vision to life: the quartz plates come from the small town of Carmen de Viboral, and are hand painted. She sourced a pair of wooden birds from carvers in Puerto Colombia. Glasses come from blowers in Bogotá. Meanwhile, placemats are woven from Iraca fiber, which is derived from Colombia’s national tree. It’s a tumultuous time for the country, which is currently embroiled in civil unrest as citizens protest inequality and police violence. Yet Ortiz’s new collection shines a soft spotlight on the abundance of beauty located within its borders. “All this talent has been around forever,” says Ortiz.
One final requirement? A little bit of character. There’s nothing in Ortiz’s collection that doesn’t, well, look distinctly Ortiz. You’re not exactly going to mistake glass salt and pepper shakers topped with a mini palm tree for another brand, nor the olive and vinegar carafes adorned with a bright blue bird. As Ortiz puts it, “I wanted everything to have personality.”
