What Goes Around: Busy but not in a hurry

Marriott Hotel: Downtown Austin, TX
January 22, 2006
What Goes Around Business Networking Luncheon:
Topic: Busy but not in a Hurry

How could we convey being in a hurry? We could have made the room look like a race car track…but that would risk looking like a kindergarten birthday party or a nascar function if not done just right. So: Décor Jetté decided to go with the theme of Ch^Ao_S!!!

Black silhouettes of various people in various dance, work, and "walk like an Egyptian" poses of action were painted and placed on the walls. Splashes of hot pink and electric blue were randomly added to the paintings.

Centerpieces were made by placing clay pots painted black in with glass fish bowls filled with water, bright gerbera daisies, wild flowers, marbles and brightly colored glass bulbs.

A white tag was painted hot pink and collaged with the typed message "STOP and smell me". The tag was pinned onto the huge Gerbera daisy in the center of the piece with a black jeweled pin.
