Diffa's Dining by Design
At Diffa's Dining by Design in Chicago in 2008, Eastlake Studio's table for Geiger International had a Mad Men vibe, featuring ashtrays, martini glasses, and a decidedly retro wood veneer.

'Mad Men'-Inspired Corporate Event
In late January, Jodi Moraru of Evoke designed and planned a Mad Men-inspired corporate event at the National Building Museum in Washington. A lighting projection on the floor evoked the image of a falling man from the show's opening credits, while a black-and-white backdrop was inspired by Roger Sterling's office on the show.

'Mad Men'-Inspired Corporate Event
At the Washington event, servers in retro-style uniforms—and with 1960s-style hairdos— shook up martinis at mirrored bars.

In the Mad Men vignette, guests entered an advertising office circa 1967 complete with a neutral-toned carpeted hallway and walls decorated with framed posters of various campaigns. As they come upon the open-plan space, they were met by a large central table surrounded by magazine cutouts, Pantone swatches, and scribbled notes. The actors in the set assumed a bevy of roles, from throwing paper airplanes while laying on a couch, to walking in and brashly throwing down an assignment.
