FRIENDS EVENTS
Common Table was born from a shared journey.
Manon grew up in the Pyrenees, surrounded by mountains and the constant presence of nature. Today, she is a freelance graphic designer, always driven by a passion for creativity in all its forms—graphic design, photography, architecture, ceramics, food, and beyond. For her, creation has never been about choosing one single path, but about weaving connections between disciplines, between people. Every encounter has shaped her, carried her forward, and reminded her of the importance of sharing.
Léo is a school teacher, deeply passionate about learning and the way curiosity shapes lives. What drives him is creating moments that build confidence, spark discovery, and open doors to new ways of thinking. For him, pausing the fast rhythm of everyday life to share knowledge and passions is not just inspiring, but necessary.
Together, they spent five years in Paris. Life was full and vibrant, yet every weekend they would escape whenever possible—driving slowly in their old van, volunteering on farms, or discovering new cultures and ways of living. These journeys taught them about slowness, about movement, and about the value of connecting with people and places in meaningful ways.

Leave full in every sense of the word.
GET TO KNOW
Moving to Oslo was a turning point: a choice to live closer to the nature they missed so much, and at the same time to immerse themselves in a multicultural environment. After two years in Norway, Common Table emerged naturally. Could a table become more than a surface? A creative home across countries? As the expression of everything they had been searching for all along: movement, sharing, nature, culture, creation, and learning.
Common Table is, at its heart, a way to bring people together—around ideas, food, crafts, stories, and creativity.
A place where passions can finally meet, where no border between disciplines or cultures is needed. A table open to all, where inspiring moments are shared and new connections are born.
