Housing Nonprofit Builds Dollhouses for Benefit

For nonprofit Homes for the Homeless' 20th anniversary at Capitale, miniature houses were a prominent—and appropriate—feature in the decor. Wolfgang Thom of Wolfgang Design worked with Jennifer Warren, the nonprofit's development associate, and Harriet Weintraub of HWPR to design centerpieces for the dinner area that had a clean and organic look with glass frames fashioned into the simple shape of a house. Inside the houses were white gerbera daisies and candles floating in a pool of water surrounded by votives. And for a little interactive fun during the cocktail hour, Lego artist Nathan Sawaya started an unfinished dollhouse made from Lego pieces, and guests could add on to the structure using extra pieces set out in plastic containers—an apt symbol for the organization's work building housing for those without homes.
