GATHE(RED) Around the Table with (SUMMERILL & BISHOP)RED

In the fight to end AIDS, there’s room at the table for everyone. And with the new (SUMMERILL & BISHOP)ᴿᴱᴰ: African Flower Collection, gathe(RED) around the table takes on a new meaning.

Founded in 1994, Summerill & Bishop design and create table linens with the belief that setting the table is an art form. Bold and sophisticated styles that outlive any season or occasion give a sense of timeless elegance, rivaled only by the memories created around the products. 

For CEO and Creative Director, Seb Bishop, who served as International CEO of (RED) from 2008 to 2011, this collaboration is personal. 

The (SUMMERILL & BISHOP)ᴿᴱᴰ : African Flower Collection includes 100% pure French linen tablecloths and napkins, coasters, placemats, and scented drawer liners. All adorned with trailing African flowers as a tribute to the landscapes and communities at the heart of (RED)'s work across sub-Saharan Africa. 

Each piece of the collection is designed to combine beauty with meaning, ensuring every meal is personal and every gathering is purposeful. 

For every purchase of a (SUMMERILL & BISHOP)ᴿᴱᴰ product, 20% of sales will support (RED)'s efforts to expand access to care that keeps mothers healthy and babies HIV-free.

Summerill & Bishop have always been driven by the belief that the tablecloth is the fabric of life. By partnering with (RED), this philosophy extends far beyond the confines of a home and works towards guaranteeing every individual impacted by health injustice has access to life-saving testing, treatment, and care.

I’m incredibly proud that Summerill & Bishop now sits alongside some of the world’s most pioneering brands in support of this extraordinary cause. My years with (RED) shaped how I think about the power of brands, creativity and, above all, the choices we make as individuals to contribute to something bigger than ourselves.

Everything that we do at Summerill & Bishop is about bringing people together, we believe that the table is much more than just a beautiful setting. It is where we gather, connect and share. It is where the most important conversations happen, conversations about the issues that affect us and the world we want to leave behind. Inspired by the landscapes and communities at the heart of (RED)’s work, this collection is our way of turning those everyday moments into an opportunity to give back.

We hope that these pieces bring joy to people’s tables, carry a sense of purpose and encourage conversation, or simply remind us that even the simplest choices can help create meaningful change.
