A moody palette of crimson and peach, checkerboard flooring, fringed bar stools and scalloped booths created an inspired backdrop for an intimate gathering of creative friends in celebration of the brand’s ethos: design with purpose.

Reiter hosted the evening, which began outside in the hotel’s European-esque paseos before moving inside for dinner and discovering the miniature Dragnet chair had been gifted to guests.
