It was a really exclusive event which saw international and Italian journalists, Hollywood actors, designers and the Japanese delegation of Decortè brand as protagonists.

We also managed the catering and we proposed an excellent menu which offered delicacies from the famous kitchen created by chef Nobu, therefore consisting in sushi, between amazing cooking experiments and original combinations which mixed the Japanese culture and the arts of the Dutch designer Marcel Wanders.

In the bar area there were professional barmen who made drinks which reminded of Japan decorated with edible flowers.

For the entertainment we organised, instead, an arch quartet which executed, during dinner, emotional performances on the notes of the harmonious traditional Japanese music.

In the end, concerning the decoration, there was an imperial table adorned by beautiful flowers from Holland used as centrepieces, then recalled by the colourful carpet in the room, and amazing handmade seat markers for every tablemate.
