Furniture & Tableware Rentals
Karelle Traverso has a rare talent for imagining and creating entire decorative worlds. Yet some clients may simply wish to enhance an existing event. That’s why Marco Traverso also offers a curated rental service featuring chandeliers and candelabras, tableware and glassware, textiles, furniture, and accessories. At the estate in Dolceacqua, you’ll find one-of-a-kind pieces some custom-designed for past events. Each object carries its own story. It’s not uncommon to dine at a table draped with a tablecloth created for a celebrity wedding or to sip from glasses inspired by historical designs crafted for a princely ceremony.
You may come across gilded porcelain plates, Bohemian crystal glasses, Fabergé-style containers for serving consommés, or hand-embroidered linens in noble fabrics. There are 18th-century chandeliers for grand settings, candleholders made from natural materials for exotic dinners, ornate jars reminiscent of Italian palaces, and seating in a range of styles—each cushion and covering carefully tailored by hand. Every item contributes to shaping your story.
KTC Event Design
The Art of the Table
With floral decoration as her foundation, textiles as her expertise, and events as her stage, Karelle Traverso has become much more than a florist—she is a designer of ambiance. Through her brand KTC, she transforms the table into a work of art. This includes table linens, plates created or customised to order, chandeliers and candleholders redesigned to suit the period, and glasses crafted by artisans. Each item reflects Karelle’s boundless imagination and passion for craftsmanship. KTC is a creative laboratory where bespoke atmospheres are conceived. From the cut of the tablecloths and napkins to the interplay of materials, colour harmonies, and the flow of the setting—every detail is orchestrated with intent. And then there are the “Grigris”, small, whimsical symbols tied to the event’s theme and discreetly scattered across the table, bringing it all to life.
Textiles
It was while organising a large-scale floral event that Karelle delved into textile design. Today, she collaborates with manufacturers across France, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Turkey, Tunisia, and Morocco. Each atelier was chosen for its weaving expertise and artistic finesse. These partnerships allow Karelle to design table settings that reflect her exceptional sense of detail. For each event, she imagines a decor that will enhance the flowers, down to the final stitch. Chair covers are created like haute couture garments—made to measure, often embroidered with the KTC initials. Each piece is unique.

Concept Creation
for Christmas
There’s always magic in Karelle Traverso’s world but it becomes especially vivid during the festive season. Christmas decorations have become one of her specialties. Step into the boutique during the holidays and you’ll discover an enchanting display of themed universes. Each year, fourteen original themes are proposed, the result of nearly a year’s worth of design and research. These themes named after childhood memories or poetic visions, such as Red Nostalgia, The Delivery Truck and its Elves, or Santa on the Planets are designed to surprise and inspire. Karelle has a gift for conjuring dreamlike scenes that speak to children and adults alike.

And where there are holidays, there are festive tables not just for Christmas or New Year’s, but for every moment worth celebrating. Karelle might suggest using elements from your home and garden: pinecones, pebbles, soft toys, candles. Or she might craft a deeply symbolic, introspective table filled with spiritual energy and light. These are more than table settings; they’re living stories that make the season truly unforgettable.
