“Would you like sugar?” asked Tania Sarin.
A content creator — known for her fashion and interior design — Sarin opened her home in Los Angeles to unveil a 10-piece serving ware collection with Anastasio Home that’s rooted in the ritual of coffee making. She was in her kitchen brewing a cup.
“It’s Armenian,” she said of the copper pot before pouring the velvety liquid into an espresso-sized vessel made of marble.
It’s one of the pieces from the line — offering a serving set, canisters, servers, a brass spoon, a stirrer and bowls of different sizes made of veined marble, brass and aluminum, from $125 to $750. The entirety is available now at anastasiohome.com, with select pieces carried by retail partner Moda Operandi.

Everything is cast, carved and finished by hand in India, with operations managed from Connecticut by founder Gabriela Anastasio, who launched the company in 2021.
“She said, ‘I love the fact that you bring your culture into your brand,’” Sarin reflected, recalling how Anastasio approached her for the collaboration. The two had already worked together designing emerald-colored marble cups for Sarin’s wedding.
“I love being Armenian,” said Sarin, who shares her heritage and lifestyle with viewers. “My parents are from Lebanon but we’re Armenian, and they taught me so much about how important our culture is. I wanted to incorporate it into the collection.”
The influence is seen in the materials, soft and warm tones, and pieces like the “Date Bowl.”
“I normally have my morning coffee with a date,” Sarin explained. “We wanted to make a little bowl for it.”
The likes of Maeve Reilly, Liv Perez, Meeka Hossain, Nicolas Flores, Marianna Hewitt, Lauren Ireland, Claire Khodara and Casey Fremont were among the guests who came out for the casual lunch, mingling as they enjoyed coffee and Mediterranean bites.
“Help yourselves,” the hostess echoed.
