Luigi said: “I have always been enthusiastic about the way we prepare our table for special occasions. The napkin is the one part of the table setting which allows being folded in an artistic way to reflect the host's creative style and the occasion being celebrated.
“I have never missed an opportunity to create something extraordinary to celebrate a royal occasion. The Platinum Jubilee has given me a challenge once more to create something artistic and beautiful to celebrate this special event.
"It is my contribution to mark this memorable lifetime event.”
