| Designer: Shades of Green Landscape Architecture Private Comment
Shades of Green was one of the only landscape architects at this year's event, and lived up to the honor by creating a jaw-dropping jungle of draping vines, lush leaves and faux chrysalises at the table. The "Terra" table looks almost like it popped out of a fairy tale — due in great part to the throne-like chairs. These unique chairs are each made of a single piece of wood, bringing this table to an entirely new level. |

Francois Simard, Kravet corporate image designer, used contrasting tones of purple and green Kravet fabric in this colorful and cozy booth to create a vibrant and eclectic looking table. The table is designed to create a more intimate lounge-like dining space. Despite the brilliant color palette, light was the main inspiration in this design — the table has numerous holes cut into it so that light can filter through to the royal purple carpeting. |
| The candles on the custom table are from Restoration Hardware and the plates at each setting are from Crate & Barrel. All of the tabletop items were designed to fit snugly into the table's holes. Private Comment

| Designer: Chanda Seymour Mattson Private Comment
Mattson designed three separate tables for three eras: the 1950s, the 1980s and 2011. Mattson dedicated all of the tables to an Elizabeth Taylor theme. This table represented the 1950s — when Father of the Bride with Elizabeth Taylor was released, and she was still a newlywed with Conrad Hilton. Mattson based the table on both of these weddings, then added the rest of Taylor's husbands names to the table settings for bit of fun. Bamboo chairs from Chiavari were accented with plush purple cushions, and a traditionally styled chandelier from Gregorious | Pineo casts a soft light over the scene. |
| This table is Mattson's 2011 table. Since the Hollywood Regency style is known for its glamour and glitz — the epitome of Taylor's bold style — Mattson gave this table a contemporary twist. Clear glass candlesticks and plush blue chairs were found at a local consignment shop. The placemat and napkin fabric is from Robert Allen, and all of the flatware and china are from Bloomingdale's.

Designer: Applegate Tran Designers Vernon Applegate and Gioi Tran combined contrasting looks and styles in a pleasantly laid back, California-chic table. A graphic black and white abstract mural dominates one wall, while the place settings and rattan chairs from Coup D' Etat are a bit more subtle. |
| Instead of a bold light fixture, Applegate Tran installed a beautiful custom floral arrangement, designed by a team member. This intricate design hangs delicately above the table, providing pops of cheerful yellow to the setting. Private Comment

| Silverstein's color and material palette was inspired by natural materials. Silverstein made everything on this table except for the abalone shells (which he polished to a sparkling pearled hue) and the napkins. The plates and cups are ceramic and the flatware is made from cut, forged and polished stainless steel. Private Comment

| The inside of the playhouse is decidedly grown up. Textiles, wallpaper and products were all supplied by Aldea Home. Quirky animal masks at each place setting encouraged diners to open up to their inner child. Private Comment
