5. Designing Moments
& Memories
Since 2010 we have worked on
culinary and sensory research.
Understanding how to stimulate and
engage the senses as well as
delivering great food and
experiences…
…we channel this ongoing research
and creativity towards themed
experiences around brands and
products, using them as inspiration
to create memorable and
remarkable influencer, press and
client events.
We understand that your company
and brand need more than just a
pretty event…
…so we design executable,
memorable, scalable, Instagram-
worthy moments which are unique
and bespoke to their individual
needs.
The following are a few case studies
which highlight the broad range of
activities we engage in…

12. Get in touch and we will give you an idea on how we can
support and add value to your project – whether on concept
development and/or execution.
Once we receive a brief we will come back, with a number
of top line ideas.This usually takes 2-3 working days.
Once a creative direction is agreed we develop the details of
the concept.This process can take between a week to
several weeks depending on the scale of the project.
Aside from our Chef’sTable most of our experiences are
bespoke and service fees are agreed on a case by case basis.

More than a gastronomic gimmick, these meals illuminate a

but in concert.
