Historic House Trust of New York City's Founders Award Gala
At the Historic House Trust of New York City's Founders Award gala, 360 Design Events matched the decor to the theme by hanging hats in and around the tent set up at Gracie Mansion. The June 5 dinner's theme was "hats off," so the design firm used colorful ribbons to suspend dozens of straw hats from trees in the garden and the tent ceiling. And to prevent waste, guests were invited to take home the headwear as a memento of the evening.

Urinals
One of the twists of Smirnoff's 2001 Twistotica product launch event in New York was that the men's and women's restrooms were switched. So the planning team at EventQuest put flowers in the urinals of the new women's bathroom.

Industrial Materials
Industrial elements dominated the Tate Americas Foundation's Artists Dinner in New York in May. Designer David Stark used giant metallic tubes, florescent lights, and galvanized metal accents in raw event space Skylight at Moynihan Station. Soft pink flowers contrasted the industrial materials that held them.
