Every event should offer something fresh in design and presentation, and the San Francisco Symphony Gala achieved this – in spades. The event took place in nine separate venues and hosted 2,000 guests – an impressive accomplishment by the professional design team at Blueprint Studios. Each venue reflected the underlying theme but was separately designed for the specific space. The design concept involved using colors and patterns to create a contemporary rhythm of geometric shapes and patterns, enhanced by brilliant metals and bold mineral hues.

City Hall has an iconic rotunda built in 1915, where the Supper Gala was created with a clean, contemporary design, contrasting and enhancing the beauty of the stunning venue. The concept was a mesh between elegant chic and contemporary urban, creating a dramatic, breathtaking atmosphere. Varying grey tones in the table linen added an edgy, modern vibe to the tables. The lush green florals and glass hurricane vessels brought an urbane sophistication to this classic space.
