ONYX ECLIPSE
The Design Story
The foundation of the look is a matte black round tablecloth, creating a seamless, dark void that allows the reflective elements to take centre stage. This bold anchor is framed by gold Tiffany chairs with black cushions, providing a structural golden border that adds warmth and prestige to the intense palette.
The centrepiece is a striking architectural arrangement featuring a matte black footed urn filled with a dense cluster of monochrome roses in black and ivory. Surrounding the florals are slender matte black taper candles in varying heights, grouped on a circular mirror base. This mirrored foundation multiplies the flickering candlelight and pairs with ribbed glass tea light holders, creating a “city-lights” effect at the heart of the table.
Each place setting is defined by a clear glass “beaded” charger plate with a delicate silver-rimmed edge, allowing the black linen to show through while adding a shimmering textural border. Topped with a crisp white linen napkin and a matte black side plate, the setting provides a sharp, clean contrast. Polished silver cutlery and a mix of clear and onyx-black stemmed glassware complete the look with a high-fashion, professional finish.

Styling Tips
Styling Tips for “Onyx Eclipse”
- Master the Mirror Reflection: Place your ribbed glass votives directly on the edge of the circular mirror. The vertical lines in the glass will catch the reflection of the black taper candles, doubling the visual “sparkle” and depth of the centrepiece.
- Play with Glass Contrast: Interperse onyx-black glassware with clear stemware. This prevents the table from feeling too heavy and adds a curated, editorial feel to the place settings.
- Crisp Napkin Folding: Use a clean, flat rectangular fold for the white napkins, tucked neatly under the black side plate. This sharp geometric line complements the beaded edge of the charger plate and reinforces the modern aesthetic.
- Monochrome Floral Balance: When styling the roses, ensure the ivory blooms are placed near the centre of the arrangement to provide a focal point of light amidst the darker black roses and taper candles.
