Starry Night
London, 24th November 2022
Set within the Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA) building, the Nash and Brandon Rooms played host to an evening of elegance. With sweeping views of The Mall and some of London's most iconic landmarks, the stage was set for a memorable dinner.

Saloni Lodha’s creative touch transformed the Brandon Room into a cosy living room for the night.
Designed by the architect John Nash, the rooms exuded historic charm with original cornicing and ornate plasterwork, enhanced by the whimsical illustrations of artist Sharan Ranshi that were hung like larger-than-life canvases.
Florist Simone Gooch's floral arrangements added a touch of beauty to the setting, with sweet peas, ranunculi, and roses creating an atmosphere of relaxed sophistication, setting the tone for Chef Brony Lewton’s culinary journey. The tablescape, featuring a mix of Chinese porcelains and Murano glassware, was accented with hand-embroidered seat cards from India.
"For this dinner, we had to manoeuvre a kitchen three floors below during a sit-down dinner for seventy guests. The organised chaos of preparation only heightened the excitement on the day. These moments weave themselves into the tapestry of cherished memories alongside the celebrations." Saloni Lodha
