This September, Cabana Magazine launched the Benaki Museum Autumn Winter 2023 collection, featuring elegant tableware and linen inspired by textiles and ceramics in the Benaki Museum Collection of Modern Greek Culture.
 

So far, Cabana’s homeware collections have drawn motifs, colours, and ideas from historical houses, such as Houghton Hall, created in 1720 for Britain’s first Prime Minister, Sir Robert Walpole, or from renowned interior designers, such as David Hicks. This is the first time that Cabana has designed a collection directly inspired by a museum or public institution, paying tribute to traditional Greek design and embodying the spirit of age-old Mediterranean craft and culture.

The Benaki Museum Autumn Winter 2023 collection is designed by Cabana and crafted by artisans in Greece, Italy, Egypt and beyond. It features tablecloths inspired by the rich collections of the Benaki Museum adorned with decorative elements on traditional textiles, ceramics crafted at the island of Sifnos, hand-painted tableware from artisans in Athens and Umbria, linen napkins, pillowcases embroidered in Egypt and much more. The glassware collection represents Cabana’s first complete collection of stemware, comprised of wine glasses, water glasses, champagne flutes and a beautiful hand-painted jug.
 

Selected items from Cabana Magazine's Benaki Collection are available to pre-order from the Benaki Museum Shop. The collection is also available online at cabanamagazine.com. A percentage of sales will go to the Benaki Museum, supporting its ongoing work to preserve and celebrate the arts in Greece. 

 

ABOUT CABANA

Since 2014, Cabana aims to inspire a new generation of globe trotters, taking them on a journey through sophistication, obsessive collecting, colours, and fabrics. The biannual publication is a collectible objet d’art in itself, a celebration of the medium of print; its graphic treatment of features, layering embellished borders and striking photography on an array of beautiful types of paper, and the variants of each cover issue offer readers a truly immersive experience. The German word gemütlich summons the Cabana vision, conveying an inviting feeling of warmth and sense of space. Whether it be a palazzo, a flat, a folly, or a hut, the Cabana mood is an appreciation of the sensory and experiential characteristics of interiors. Inspired by the pages of the magazine, are the Cabana homeware collections. Each product, be it an item of dinnerware or table linen or a piece of occasional furniture, is designed in-house and carefully hand-crafted by artisans around the world.
