DESIGN ON A DIME 2024 BOOTH
A modern prohibition setting was the concept behind this booth design for Housing Works, Design on a Dime 2024. Alfonsina Romero-Waters (ARNY) and Daria Demin (Circa 22 Design Studio) design a prohibition inspired room inside a 10’x12’ booth at Housing Work’s annual fundraiser: Design on a Dime. Dedicated to raising funds to end homelessness and AIDS, Design on a Dime brings top together designers to create unforgettable vignettes exhibited and sold at Opening Night. The event this year raised $1.2 million
The duo's booth captures the essence of a modernist speakeasy lounge, drawing inspiration from the glamour of the Prohibition era. In the heart of the room stands a radiant red lacquer bar shelf generously donated by Vondom. A Timothy Oulton - donated bar served non-alcoholic cocktails. Hosted by The Gin and Tonic Queen, nonalcoholic cocktails were exquisitely crafted with London Essence mixers, echoing the era's ethos of temperance and innovation.
The ambiance of the duo's booth is elevated through strategic collaborations with luxury brands such as JAB Fabrics, Fromental, Metropolitan Lighting, Houles Paris, Tom Faulkner, Classic Sofa, Soy Creative, Pom Rugs, Luigi’s Blinds and Drapes, and Jan Kath Carpets. These esteemed sponsors have contributed to tailoring a space that displays a distinctive blend of history and innovation.
