Project > Dinner by Design | Designer > Gensler | Gensler | Photographer > Alec Ng
The Design Exchange, Canada’s museum devoted to showcasing design excellence, invited Gensler to partake in Monogram Dinner by Design, to raise awareness and funds for local AIDS hospice Casey House. Inspired by the möbius band, the designers transformed a 12’ x 12’ room into a futuristic yet functional space for a memorable feast. The LED-illuminated strip wrapped around the ceiling and floor and underneath the table, creating an unforgettable dining experience. Ultramodern elements included the wired Corian tabletop, black-lacquered wood, geometric steel-framed chairs and acrylic placemats. Designed over three months, the entire set was erected within a day by millworkers, electricians and volunteers who donated their materials, expertise and time. More than 600 people enjoyed Monogram Dinner by Design while raising thousands of dollars for Casey House. Svend Nielsen Ltd. is an established Designer/ Manufacturer of the finest custom furniture and millwork. Drawing upon more than 60 years experience, we take great pride in crafting products that satisfy the most discerning eye.
