Waww la table, a brand born on social networks

Waww la table was born on Instagram in June 2020, when France had just experienced its first confinement and restaurants were closed for health reasons due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

This initiative was led by two women, Péri Cochin and Arabelle Reille, TV producer and art historian, who share a taste for fine dining and a desire to modernize the art of French hospitality.

The success of their Instagram account made it possible to develop Waww la table, which now offers many services. The brand first launched an e-shop with a selection of handcrafted tableware and table decorations.

Waww la table also sells boxes comprising entire tables: with the exception of the furniture, customers acquire all the items shown in the photo, from napkins to glasses, including dishes, vases, carafes and the plates.

The brand has also set up a flea market online store specializing in tableware, allowing Internet users to hunt for rare and old objects without having to travel, and to sell their own tableware remotely.

Every month, in collaboration with Paris Match, Waww la table celebrates the gastronomic meal of the French: a great chef is honoured, and several personalities are invited to his table. Finally, the brand offers a personalized coaching service to learn how to set a beautiful table.
