Cadillac celebrated the start of the festive weekend on Thursday under a clear tent decked with illuminated orbs at the Chateau Marmont, with production from Event Eleven. (Cadillac was the official vehicle sponsor of the Academy Awards, and, in addition to the event, the brand debuted a new series of ads during the telecast.) Celebrities and V.I.P.s were also chauffeured to the event in the CT6, the brand’s full-size sedan. For understated event decor typical of events hosted at the Chateau, monochromatic calla lilies sat alongside logo glass LED candle holders. DJ Michelle Pesce spun for the crowd.
Now in its second year, the Monogram Dinner by Design Presented by Caesarstone took place January 19 to 24 at the Design Exchange in Toronto. The event, which benefited Casey House and Design Exchange, showcased interactive dining installations from 12 architecture and interior design firms. Each designer was given free rein over his or her installation; the only directive was that each dining area seat 10 guests. Designer Joel Loblaw brought elements of the outdoors inside. Inspired by childhood memories of camping or visiting a rustic cabin, the installation contained firewood, enamelware camping plates, and peat moss.
