Marimekko's In Good Company tableware line—which features an array of patterns and colors— is meant to be mixed and matched; the object is to "inspire you to break the conventions of table setting and to mix influences from different cultures." We especially like the black and white Oiva pieces from the In Good Company line by Finnish designer Sami Ruotsalainen.
