It may feel early to talk tinsel, but trust us – your future self will thank you for getting a head start. Before you know it, calendars will fill up, guest lists will grow, and you’ll be wondering where you put that cocktail shaker from last year. Thankfully, designer Diego Olivero, founder of MESO, and AllModern have teamed up on the new Modern Entertaining barware collection that’s ready to make your holiday hosting stylish and effortless. And with pieces already selling out, now’s the time to get your holiday essentials sorted.
Dubbed Modern Entertaining, the capsule is more than just a pretty set – it’s a celebration of global craftsmanship and proof of the meaningful shifts possible in producing design-forward home accessories. Produced in partnership with Powered by People, a platform dedicated to supporting responsibly made, artisan-produced goods, the collection channels the skill of makers worldwide into modern hosting essentials. As founder of MESO, a PBP-Verified
home decor line, Olivero brings his signature blend of contemporary lines and traditional techniques to the collection, creating functional objects that are as artful as they are entertaining. This collaboration not only brings Olivero’s playful, design-forward vision to life but also champions sustainable production and the livelihoods of independent artisans – many of whom play an unsung role in our holiday festivities.
From everyday happy hour to Christmas Day dinner, Modern Entertaining has a piece for every moment. The sculptural Kora Ice Bucket looks as good serving ice as it does on display. The white knob is one of the collection’s central design elements, reappearing in the Zoe Ice Tongs, Inara Shaker, Fay Stirrer, and, our favorite, the June Bar Set. Sleek stainless steel accents, like the Amelia Tray, bring a modern edge, while the Flor Marble Coasters’ organic shapes and the richly textured Sari Wood Serving Board nod to the handcrafted origins of each design. Even the recycled Salta Glass tumblers, made by artisans in Guadalajara, can turn a weeknight pour into something special.
Together, the pieces in Modern Entertaining create a hosting toolkit that’s equal parts functional and photogenic – because you know everything will end up on Instagram. Save yourself the holiday stress and start planning your party spread now!
