“Artfully arranged” was the theme, but “brilliantly built” would have worked as well for the League Club’s seventh annual Naples Tables, where table centerpieces rose to 9 feet and one corner table even created its own sitting room.

Fadia Bechara of At Faro and David Burman from Mister Style had assembled their own organic look with handwoven palm mats, reed baskets and ceramics which were lowered repeatedly into ocean water to create their salt patina. The two Naples furniture and accessory designers have their own businesses but often collaborate.

“He likes all my ideas and I like all his ideas,” Bechara said. The two had lobbied for more of a plantation aura with two comfy reed peacock chairs — “my grandparents’,” Burman said proudly — at the table.

A number of tables had sentiment behind them. Ginger Williamson and Colin Dungan of Abbie Joan Design and Remodel had created an homage to Dungan’s mother.

“His mother passed last year and she was sort of a Chihuly collector,” Williamson explained of their theme, “Chihuly in the Garden.”

“We had a $500 budget so a lot of this is handmade,” she added. She and Dungan had created “moss” placemats and a crystalline bouquet by painting, then heating, plastic plates in an oven.

“The more you melt it, the more it just curls up into a little flower,” she offered.

The pair’s only splurge was a tangerine-swirl blown-glass bowl, done in the style of the famous glass artist, at each table setting.

Art works came to this year’s event, pieces such as Paula Brody’s ribbon-effect paper seascape, hung above a shared table for her Inspirations Artist & Design Gallery and Vintage & Nouveau, an online florist with multiples of blue in a floral outlay.

Chad Jensen and his team at Method and Concept had brought a tribute to the 25th anniversary of the Naples Winter Wine Festival to its table. A plaster cast of the Bacchus sculptures around town presided over it with a planting break at the top filled, of course, with grapes. The entire table, with molded sculpture chargers, was decorated in grapey abandon.

All of the 52 tables are a tribute to the power of this signature fundraiser for the League Club. Last year some 35 charities and nonprofits received $683,000 in grants and the organization contributed an additional $10,000 toward Collier Comes Together Hurricane Fund.

“We’ve loved playing off the art of anticipation, the art of hospitality, and our guest speaker, Alex Hitz — his book is The Art of the Host,” said Ann Burbridge, vice-president of fundraising events for the League Club, of this year’s event. Even better, she said, are the results of the Naples Tables approach to fundraising: In its seven years, it has been the primary donor to the organization’s $7.3 million in grants.
