Miami-based Nuage Designs recently launched a new collection of table linens inspired by mixed metals. The sequin “Koi” pieces feature a texture and pattern similar to the fish skin and are available in white and silver, white and gold, beige and gold, and black and gold. The items range in price from $85 to $95, depending on the size of the linen.

In March, nonprofit organization Urban Arts Partnership celebrated its 25th anniversary in New York. The event, which supports the group’s mission to advance the development of underserved public school students, featured neon sign centerpieces with words of inspiration.

The Medair New York gala in March included famous street artists such as Shepard Fairey, as well as well-known subway performers, as part of an overall urban vibe at the fund-raiser. HL Group produced, and Raven Hollow Guild created a neon sign atop corrugated metals as part of the decor.

Neon cacti were part of the desert-theme decor at the H&M Loves Coachella collection launch at the H&M store in Times Square. The Atomics, who are performing at the music festival, played at the event for 200 people.

Coach and Rodarte celebrated their collaboration on March 30 at Musso & Frank in Los Angeles. There, neon signage in graphic white announced the two brands' names.

Months earlier, Coach marked its 75th anniversary in December in New York with a high-energy runway show on a set that took inspiration from a motel parking lot. Cartoonish neon representations of a gritty urban landscape created the backdrop.

At IP Soft's holiday party in New York in December, event designer Tinsel & Twine created a masquerade ball full of surprises—such as real performative hands distributing masks and beckoning guests to continue forward as they entered. Other key details included a modern gothic photo booth with a fallen chandelier, black leather chaise, graffiti portraits, and an eye-catching neon sign bearing the IP Soft logo.

At the Recording Academy's "Grammy Celebration" after-party in Los Angeles in February, a neon-green outline of the recognizable shape of an Absolut bottle—no brand name needed—served as an entrance into a raised bar designed and produced by MKG.

Prior to the inaugural Girlboss Rally in Los Angeles in March, Girlboss and American Express invited a select group of tastemakers to a feminine but edgy dinner, where spherical lighting fixtures and their cords, plus a branded neon sign, were among the design elements.

A neon "G." represented a short version of the brand's name, amid painted tropical foliage.

The Warner Brothers International Television Distribution gala filled the Burbank lot with digital mapping, costumed entertainers, and an array of pyrotechnic stunts and decor.

Dinner and cocktails were also on tap at Porsche's party, where dramatic purple and red tones bathed Vibiana.

Digital mapping on Notre Dame de la Treille was a show in itself. The mapping displayed everything from large hands appearing to sketch the building to leafy green plants sprouting out of the facade. At the end, the church lit up like a pinball machine in bright colors. Throughout the show, sound effects included church bells, ghostly-sounding choirs, and creaky doors.

Chicago’s Museum of Science and Industry hosted its black-tie gala, the Columbian Ball, on Saturday. The museum was originally built for the famous 1893 World’s Fair, and its history played into the decor. In the dinner tent, Heffernan Morgan Ronsley projected vintage photos of the museum onto cyclone-shaped fabric sculptures.
