Dinner party by I’m a KOMBO
Written by Bo - 02/06/2010

Last week everything turned white. We were asked to create a formal dinner, not so formal in a beautiful Copenhagen setting. The people inviting, were eager not to host a traditional dinner, because they didn’t want their guests sitting down for hours and hours listening to speeches and what else. They wanted a lot of mingling, a trend I would say, at least between our customers. We divided the room into three zones with each a theme. The guests were led between these sections as the night went by. First a glass in the garden saying hallo to Fredric the peacock, who had been guarding the doors ever since we arrived earlier. Luckily he let the people through and they were invited indoors for snacks and yet another drink. We put a lot of effort into those bites, because we had planned for them to mingle, for about an hour. When we finally aloud them to sit at their tables they got a little surprise. The tables were set with a white cloth on top only showing the starters. It’s a concept that we developed for our popup vol#002, and it’s about talking, teamwork and changeling the atmosphere drastically after the first course has been eaten. Also the food and wine changes, from very minimalistic style -almost lab kind of look to a rustic plate with lots of taste. When the starter is gone we simply remove the chosen material used as cover and the accessories for the next dish is revealed. After, they couldn’t help it!, a few speeches and when everybody was pleased, we asked them to leave their tables and go back to the snack area, where we had arranged the desserts and coffee. By then, one could do as he pleased. The garden was filled with cool refreshing beers as we cleaned down the kitchen and shortly after a bus came and picked our very happy guests. Thanks for a great night! Check out the pics below. I don’t think I have mentioned it, but we have joined up with a super cool very young photographer, who I hope will supply this page, with his fantastic photos. His name is Oscar Meyer.
