BACK TO THE WILD _ A Dinner Before Extinction

A bespoke celebration blending bold creative direction, theatrical tablescaping and a touch of prehistoric humour.

An extraordinary private dinner designed for 20 guests, inspired by a client's lifelong fascination with dinosaurs, his scientific background and a running joke about becoming one himself.

The brief was as personal as it was unusual: create an unforgettable celebration that felt sophisticated, surprising and unapologetically fun.

How do you turn a dinosaur-themed dinner into a luxury experience without falling into the obvious?

We wanted to escape the expected Jurassic aesthetic and create something entirely different. No prehistoric clichés. No predictable earthy palettes. Just a bold, unexpected world where playful references meet refined design.

We took dinosaurs out of their natural habitat and placed them in an almost otherworldly setting.

Electric orange lighting, deep midnight-blue velvet, fluorescent accents and metallic textures created a dramatic, futuristic atmosphere. Sculptural tropical florals introduced an exotic dimension, while miniature dinosaurs became unexpected guests at the table.

The experience extended far beyond the visual concept.

Working alongside private chefs and a mixologist, we developed a themed gastronomic journey, from a bespoke welcome cocktail to a curated dinner menu inspired by prehistoric references and extinction.

Every element was considered: the theatrical tablescape, custom menus, floral styling, lighting, drinks and food presentation.

The result was an intimate celebration where luxury didn't have to take itself too seriously.
