Ideas de Eventos

Red doors with barred windows marked the entrance for A&E's Breakout Kings event at Stage 37.

Rather than the venue's main entrance, the event used the loading dock to check in guests, setting the tone for the evening with the space's bare walls and concrete floors. Decor in this area included a plain, stainless steel table, a single hanging light fixture, and a "cops" sign defaced to read "cons."

Some design elements, such as the orange jumpsuits worn by the event staff, were a more direct interpretation of the shows thematic elements.

Branding in the space was spare, save for a handful of carefully placed logos that were lit with basic floor lamps.

To incorporate promotional footage from the show into the overall set up for the event, MKG created video stations modeled after classic prison visitor cubicles, complete with telephone handsets.

Chain-link fencing served as the backdrop for the bars and the DJ booth.

Inspired by the two-way mirrors of interrogation rooms, the production crew crafted reflective room dividers and decorated each with oversized images of the show's cast.

Like the step-and-repeat for cast and A&E execs, the backdrop for the photo booth played up mugshot-style height charts. Letter board props imprinted with "A&E State Penitentiary" helped complete the picture.

As the series revolves around convicts helping U.S. Marshals capture fugitives, MKG adorned the event's cocktail tables with blueprint-like graphics.

Buffet stations offered small plates of grub from Creative Edge, including Peking duck cigars, beef siu mai, aged New York strip steak, twice-cooked fingerling potatoes, and creamed spinach.

As a playful take on stereotypical jail canteens, one food station doled out bites from an open chafing dish.

Another station supplied grilled cheese made with clothing irons on an ironing board.

For the HBO Emmy after-party in August 2010, event designer Billy Butchkavitz concocted a “summer safari” theme that featured animal-print tablecloths in preppy pink and banana and palm trees as high as 30 feet.
