District Modern

The Savannah College of Art and Design's senior vice president of college resources, Glenn Wallace, designed a white carriage—emblematic of Savannah—modified as a dining banquette. Parked on chalkboard tiles embellished with drawings of the city by SCAD students, the carriage sat in front of an illuminated wall that depicted Savannah's Forsyth Park.

Todd Merrill showcased the modern antiques sold in his downtown shop with a lush, over-the-top setting with mid- and late-70's furnishings. To fit with one of the dinner's sponsors, French vodka Jean-Marc XO, Merrill chose all European pieces, including a French Lucite table with a fishbowl in the center. The Toso chandelier had 750 glass links that had to be individually wrapped and linked before the event.
