The Watermill Center’s 2014 benefit in New York had a series of fairy tale-inspired art installations. As the centerpiece of the entrance, Annick Lavallée-Benny's 'N.U.A.G.E.S.' was an imposing fixture constructed from wood, chicken wire, cotton batting, polyfill, and fishing line. The conception of clouds was inspired by the magical flying carpets that are featured throughout the tales of the benefit's 'One Thousand Nights and One Night: Sleeping Nights of Sheherazade' theme.

For the City of Hope Spirit of Life gala, held in Los Angeles in November 2016, Namevents created a stage that resembled the moon's pocked surface and used fiber-optic panels in the roof of the tent to resemble stars. The sides of the tent were also draped black, and the carpeting was black as well so that the focus remained on the stage.

The Canadian Opera Company’s Centre Stage

At the Canadian Opera Company’s fund-raising gala, Centre Stage, held in November at Toronto’s Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts, lights and projections transformed the venue’s ceiling into a cloudy blue sky with 14 suspended orbs draped in white silk orchids that hung above the dining guests. The tabletop floral arrangements consisted of white hydrangeas and white orchids in gold vases.

For Diffa’s Dining By Design in New York in March 2015, Smartwater's all-white space aimed to reflect the brand's natural water purification process, which is mirrored after rain clouds. The fluffy fixtures lit up like a storm above the simple table setting.
