Inspired by the world of fashion and the elegance of Italian galas, Cordero Atelier transforms a public garden into a gastronomic journey conceived as a sequence of scenes, where guests move through the landscape as though walking a runway before arriving at the banquet.
Scope: Creative direction, production, experience design, scenography design, floral design, textile design, lighting design, sound design, graphic direction, food and beverage design, and guest experience.
The cocktail is conceived as a gastronomic promenade. Upon arrival, guests receive a map of the garden and an audio introduction inviting them to explore the journey at their own pace. The staggered arrival allows each person to experience the route individually before gathering at the entrance to the banquet hall.
The length and geometry of the garden shape the experience. Small culinary stations emerge naturally throughout the landscape, turning each stop into a new discovery and making the movement of the guests an essential part of the design.
The language of fashion permeates the entire proposal. Red, the signature color of the bride’s fashion house, becomes the visual thread of the project, present in the flowers, textiles, lighting, and dress code. A monumental textile threshold announces the entrance to the banquet, while the custom table linens and seating arrangement reinterpret the choreography of a fashion show.
The color palette is inspired by the dialogue between Ricardo Bofill’s architectural red and the deep green of the cypress trees and hedges, a contrast that defines the celebration’s visual identity.
Even the transitional moments become part of the narrative. Beside the tennis court, a ghost match continues through sound alone, while dozens of tennis balls remain scattered across the ground, a subtle intervention designed to surprise guests and remind them that the story never truly stops.
