Harris Theater Gala
Harris Theater Gala
On June 26, the Paris Opera Ballet performed Giselle at the Harris Theater. Drawing on the ethereal, ghostly set of the famous ballet, designer Bill Heffernan brought a moonlit-forest look to the tent that housed the ensuing gala in Millennium Park. The “dining space was filled and overwhelmed with gigantic transparent suspended cubes, projected with provencale branch patterns, and hovering low over square dining tables,” he said. Ferns and white freesia decorated the table tops.

DESIGNLUSH's setting was an homage to 1970s fashion designer Paco Rabanne. Housed inside a golden pool cabana, the focal point of the look was a two-tiered, rectangular gold paillette chandelier commissioned from Le Lebow, the Paris firm that made the paillettes for Rabanne's mini dresses. The table displayed wine bottles coated in real gold using a process adapted from industrial use.

10. Nobu Hotel
Late this year, you can take your meeting to a big-name new space on the Strip: the world’s first Nobu Hotel, restaurant, and lounge. The new restaurant will be an 11,200-square-foot space with an East-meets-West look and feel. Bowed columns of bamboo will line the exterior, meant to resemble the structure of the traditional Japanese ikebana basket used for the art of flower arranging. Colorful, patterned private dining pods and leather-upholstered screens will wrap the dining room. A 15-person bar will be the focal point of the lounge and will include an oversize bowl hand carved from a single block of wood.
