A feast for the senses and a gift of charity

Morocco Kingdom of Light, in collaboration with Rustan’s  Zenaida Tantoco, recently co-hosted an event titled  An Enchanted Afternoon with Pinky Tobiano, showcasing a new dimension of her tablescaping mastery.

Pinky Tobiano,  a chemist by profession, philanthropist, social media influencer, and the Queen of Tablescaping, meticulously curated five table settings with enchanting Moroccan themes that left an impression on guests, both local and international, during the recent charitable tablescaping event held at Rustan’s Makati.

The event also showcased Serghini porcelain tea sets for six, complete with teapots and serving trays, along with a 30-piece Serghini set and a Moroccan dinnerware collection for 12, among other Moroccan-inspired items.
