Dinner x design
2016 & 2017
Dinner by Design is an event for the senses. As a way to represent the design community in a unique way, 15 designers are tasked with creating mini living scapes that fit within a 12’ x 12’ footprint. Responsible for everything from the fork used for serving to the walls and lighting surrounding them, the designers bring their thematics to life and they don’t hold back. After the design is completed, ticket holders are welcomed to a dinner party that takes place in each dinner scape. Imaginative designs by Ryleah Shae Creative were featured at this event for two consecutive years.
2016 - The installation titled “We Are So Good Together” represented the various local vendors and artists whose work was brought together to bring this booth to life. Guests sat to dine in a figure eight formation made possible by overlapping two round dining tables at differing heights. The flirty pink walls paired with an intricate laser cut screen casted shadows upon the tablescape. This combo created the perfect ambiance and set the stage for intimate dinner conversation. Nope - your eyes aren’t playing tricks on ya - placed in the centre of the table was a floating hologram floral bouquet.
2017 - The birthday party reimagined! With a colour palette rivalling that of a piñata, the tone of the evening was set. Packs upon packs of confetti coated the floor and buttery yellow walls hugged this playful dinnerscape. Don’t forget to look up! Custom painted wicker lighting found in shades of purples, blues, and pinks hung at various heights with fifty disco balls covering any open space. When guests sat down for dinner, party hats and sparklers celebrated their attendance.
