Rolex’s greenroom at the Oscars, designed by Rolex and produced by Event Eleven, was meant to mimic the look and feel of a private Hollywood manse from the 20th century. Details included walnut wood, beige leather, and Venetian stucco.
The sea was the inspiration in a room at the Toronto International Film Festival gala in September. Designers from Party Barbara Co. used blue lighting, hanging jellyfish decorations, and vases filled with sand, shells, and sponges.
Lounge seating and communal tables provided places for guests to perch, but mingling was encouraged. The event drew 700 guests, and there was seating for about 400.
