The Marlowe
For the 2026 Cashiers Designer Showhouse, Milieu1928 partnered with Jennifer Arteaga, formerly Jennifer Lynn Interior Design, to create two new pieces for the Bonus Room of the Lake House Retreat: the Marlowe Poker Table and
Bavarder Chat Table.
Envisioned as a warm and inviting retreat for gathering, conversation, and play, the room called for pieces that could support the way guests would naturally use the space while feeling completely integrated into Jennifer’s layered design.
As with all Milieu 1928 game tables, these are limited series game tables numbered and signed.
At the center of the collaboration is the Marlowe Poker Table, a 48-inch round table crafted from solid white oak. Designed specifically for play without sacrificing its presence as a piece of furniture, Marlowe features integrated chip channels, a softly beveled edge, and a sculptural tapered ribbon base. A hand-ragged tobacco stain brings warmth and dimension to the oak while complementing the layered palette of the room.
The Details

For its mountain setting, Jennifer approached the space with a warm, layered palette that felt rich without becoming heavy. Lighter floors were balanced with deeper finishes and materials, while a mix of contemporary and timeless elements gave the room its own identity while remaining connected to the architecture and surrounding landscape.
That vision became the starting point for Marlowe and Bavarder, two pieces designed to support different ways of gathering within the same room.
Our Inspiration

Alongside Marlowe, the Bavarder Chat Table offers a more intimate place to gather. Named after the French bavarder, meaning “to chat,” the 40-inch round table stands 23 inches high and features a solid white oak top with an eased bottom edge and reeded cylindrical base. Finished in the same hand-ragged tobacco stain as Marlowe, the two pieces share a material language while serving distinct purposes within the space.

The Landon is finished in a hand honed white oak with a pop of unexpected yellow felt to pull from the art in the room.

““Collaborating with Milieu1928 was fantastic, and I’m so glad we could bring this vision to life together. The Marlowe and Bavarder tables blend seamlessly with the aesthetic and beautifully support the room’s purpose as a gathering spot. I loved working with Lizz, who made the entire process go so smoothly.””
