An intimate group of esteemed New York editors gathered at Luxe Laboratory for an insider preview of 101 Fresh Ideas for Spring from Smith & Hawken. Guests began the night with a pear-sake spritzer and delicious hors d’oeuvres reflecting the Zen-inspiration behind S&H’s forthcoming collection. The Japanese cuisine was created in front of onlooking guests in the Luxe kitchen by Momoya’s celebrity chef Ariki Omae, of Nodu fame and recently featured with Chef Morimoto on The Food Network’s Iron Chef, before guests descended to the chic studio of designer Rebecca Cole where legendary Guy Wolff threw pots on site.
