CHÂLET APRÈS: A Snowy Retreat in the Heart of New York from Apartments by Marriott and BHDM Design
Booth #261
Welcome to Châlet Après, a cozy yet contemporary retreat that whisks guests from Manhattan’s bustle to the serene charm of a snowy mountain escape. Inspired by the vibrant spirit of mountain communities, this pavilion channels the warmth and wonder of high-altitude living through a modern, residential lens.
Designed by BHDM Design for Apartments by Marriott Bonvoy, Châlet Après blends rustic elegance with urban sophistication. Layered textures meet clean lines, and alpine details are elevated with a refined, imaginative touch. The space invites guests to experience the essence of après-ski connection and quiet comfort, no matter the season.
So come in from the cold, settle into a space where imagination meets hospitality, and experience our “blue sky thinking”—from the Big Apple to Big Sky and beyond.

DINE & DESIGN: The Alchemist by Aria Group
Booth #773
Dine with us at the Alchemist’s table, where transformation and creativity take center stage. Inspired by alchemy’s pursuit of excellence – such as turning base material into precious metals – this experience blends mixed metals, imaginative design, and culinary artistry. Modern culinary arts like gastronomy and mixology draw on similar alchemy principles: experimentation, elevation, and artistry. The Dine & Design booth celebrates the whimsy of change – elevating a simple lunch break into a moment of wonder. After all, transforming ordinary moments into something extraordinary is Aria Group’s ethos of designing for the dining experience. Learn more >>

MIDNIGHT GARDEN by DesignAgency
Booth #3119
Midnight Garden is a meditation on the transformative power of hospitality.
Anchored by a rhythmic procession of arches, the space guides visitors through a sequence of thresholds—each marking a subtle shift in time, mood and awareness. The journey unfolds in near-monochrome: a cinematic environment that breathes, reacts and changes. Flowers bloom and wilt. Light brightens and fades. Overhead, the sky seems to shimmer, then fractures. A low hum swells into a pulsing beat.
Midnight Garden moves fluidly—from serene to surreal, grounded to uncanny. It’s not just an installation, but a provocation: a space that awakens the senses, suspends the rules of reality, and dissolves the grip of the everyday.
DesignAgency invites you to enter this dreamscape, open to finding deeper alignment, balance, and inspiration within yourself.
