Thank you to Tableware Today for this great feature on the new home collection with the F. Scott Fitzgerald estate. If you haven't heard or seen about this wonderful collaboration, you can read about it here, and shop the collection on the site.

(Seattle, WA - May, 2019) —  F. Scott Fitzgerald, author of The Great Gatsby and his wife Zelda defined the wild and glittering romance of the Roaring 1920s. The era was marked by endless parties, daring style, and glamour, all sparked by an economic boom.  In his 160 short stories and five novels  Scott captured something essential about America and became an inspired chronicler of his age. Together, Scott and Zelda became icons of the Jazz Age.
 
The F. Scott Fitzgerald Home Collection™ celebrates this defining style in a fashion brand representing high-end designers. Ralph Lauren admits using F. Scott Fitzgerald as his muse for many of his collections and both the Plaza Hotel in New York and The Ritz in Paris have taken a license to honor F. Scott Fitzgerald, one of their most beloved patrons,( with) a suite in his name.  The Plaza revived the Jazz Age with an art deco-designed space, called the  Fitzgerald Suite, designed by Academy Award winning Costume and Set Designer, Catherine Martin and there is also a Fitzgerald high tea in the newly renovated Palm Court.
 
As part of this new partnership, Adam and Tamara Childs will design modern offerings with a splash of Art Nouveau, blending the beauty and uniqueness reminiscent of Scott and Zelda's flamboyant lifestyle. This collection will include signature glass staples from the Childs’ studio such as vases, bowls and platters and will be available for sale on TamaraChildsCollection.com.  Pieces designed for the F. Scott Fitzgerald Home Collection™ will debut at World Market Center Las Vegas this summer, and will be available for wholesale orders in July  to boutiques across the country in July.
 
With metallic as the primary design focus, the Tamara Childs Collection creates its simple elegance with the ancient art of hand-gilding, using fine sheets in hues of gold, silver and bronze. Every piece from creation to finish-work goes through Adam & Tamara’s hands five times. It’s this very intimate relationship with each piece that sets them apart from their competitors.
Tamara Childs Collection has a permanent showroom in the World Market  Center, Las Vegas. The collection can be found in shops, museums and galleries throughout the US, the Middle East, in Moscow, Madrid, Lisbon and Mexico City, Hong Kong, the Caribbean, South America, Panama and Japan.
Childs’ website, http://www.TamaraChildsCollection.com  introduces the studio’s rich gold, silver and metal gilded bowls, glassware, barware, plates, trays and decorative accessories. All items are food-safe, and hand washable in mild soap.

F. Scott Fitzgerald is one of the most enduring American novelists of the
20th Century and is as celebrated in the 21st Century as when he first emerged on the literary scene in the 1920’s.  As a dashing young Princeton student, he already possessed a distinct 'elan'; he was talented, well-read, fun loving and always impeccably dressed.  His novels and short stories were written in a style rich with flawless dialogue, greatly imaginative and intensely romantic. His books have been translated into 35 languages and he has been the subject of over 100 biographies.
