The Art of Transformation
Inspired by the ancient art of alchemy, Aria’s Dine + Design space at Boutique Design New York reimagines the dining experience as a place where story, design, and materiality merge. Just as chefs and mixologists elevate simple ingredients into something memorable, Aria transforms ordinary moments into extraordinary experiences. Elevating a simple lunch break, the space channels transformation through layered textures, sculptural portals, and reflective surfaces — bringing life and intrigue into the space. Storytelling, durable materials, and operational function come together to create purposeful, memorable hospitality.
This space will function as both a cafe space and stage for conference sessions. Our team curated several sessions focused on restaurant and hotel design. The teams from Mirra, AJ Capital Partners, Lark Hotels and Hilton, along with others will share their insight about the future of hospitality design. Discover the full experience at BDNY 2025, November 9–10.
