Inspired by alchemy’s pursuit of excellence – such as turning base material into precious metals – this experience blends mixed metals, imaginative design, and culinary artistry. Modern culinary arts like gastronomy and mixology draw on similar alchemy principles: experimentation, elevation, and artistry. The Dine + Design booth celebrates the whimsy of change – elevating a simple lunch break into a moment of wonder. After all, transforming ordinary moments into something extraordinary is Aria’s ethos of designing for the dining experience. The space channels transformation through layered textures, sculptural thresholds, and reflective surfaces — bringing life and intrigue into the space. It’s a case study in how durable materials, operational choices, and storytelling create purposeful, memorable hospitality.
