Love our Leland

Guests could take a piece of red ribbon, write a message of hope, and affix it to the giant-red-ribbon centerpiece.

Benjamin Moore and Cosentino Chicago designer Julia Buckingham presented a luxe tribute to the paint brand’s color of the year, Simply White. Cast-resin sculptures, a Murano glass chandelier, and eclectic seating options in a mix of textures gave interest to the mostly-white vignette.

Thought-bubble placemats inspired by Hank Willis Thomas' exhibition "The Truth Is I See You" served as tabletop decor at the Public Art Fund's spring benefit in New York in April. The messages transformed into different languages thanks to the optical illusion design. Design came from 360 Design Events.

Revlon hosted its annual philanthropic luncheon in Los Angeles in September in support of the beauty brand’s Women’s Health Mission, which in part served to raise awareness for this year's philanthropic initiatives including Revlon's second annual Love Is On Million Dollar Challenge. And from that initiative came a “love” theme executed in clean, graphic decor including centerpieces: clean white block lettering spelling out “Spread the Power of Love,” with red roses set in black vessels at the base, running the length of long, spare tables. The idea was to infuse Revlon branding into the space in a way that did not detract from the philanthropic messaging.

Echo Design's setup evoked a safari sit-down dinner with a thatched rug, canvas director’s chairs, caged pendant lighting, and a zebra pop-in guest.

The theme “Change Your Stripes" was inspired by the brand's logo that features a spotted zebra.
