Space Theme

The all-white lounge furniture included rocket ship-inspired ottomans.

Retro rocket ships acted as centrepieces in the dining room. Red and orange flowers created a "flame" at the base, which flashed.

Marigolds and Onions created a menu that matched the space-aged theme. LED lights flashed from under a Parmesan nest for the first course, a "Rocket Salad" served with dehydrated cranberries.

"The client asked for an interactive space where guests could use the Note II to do fun things like order a drink, share music, or design a T-shirt, device cover, or dessert. We designed four individual pod-like stations showing off each capability. We had one week to design, fabricate, and install the custom pieces." —Tony Schubert

Following the screening, guests headed upstairs to the open-air flight deck, where illuminated spheres and potted trees lined the pathway to the party space.

More than 800 guests filled the trading floor at the Design Exchange for a gala honouring Bruce Mau.
