food styling & edible art

Khadijah’s engraved cutlery chandelier with five printed section notecards.

the philosophy

The Gilded Table is a food styling and edible art studio working with brands, agencies and creative teams. We turn a brand's idea into something people can see, taste and remember: edible installations, experimental bites and drinks, and food styled as part of the story. Every project starts with a concept and is developed and tested with you, sometimes in our own kitchen and sometimes with the chefs and kitchens we collaborate with.

We don't do catering. We make food the medium for a brand's idea.

Edible art

Experimental bites built on texture, colour and form, each carrying part of the brand's story.

Signature drinks

Drinks designed in the brand's palette and paired to the food.

Set & styling

Serveware, surfaces and props sourced or made for the concept, styled as part of the installation.

The Anatomy of a Table Setter: an annotated vintage poster of Khadijah in a waitress uniform holding a silver tray, with labels for the brain, eyes, nose, mouth, hands, nails, apron, hair, heart, serving tray, stomach, pockets and feet.

An unofficial examination of a woman who takes food very seriously. Herself, considerably less so.
