One Planet, Two Poles, Three Pillars, Four Elements. This theme became the guiding structure for the evening—a framework that invited our guests to see the environment not just as a topic, but as an experience.

Each aspect of the dinner was thoughtfully designed to provoke questions, challenge perspectives, and engage the senses. From the menu to the table design, every element was carefully crafted to deepen the dialogue around sustainability and our shared responsibility for the planet.

This was more than a meal; it was an exploration of the Earth’s complexities—its beauty, its fragility, and the stories we often leave untold.

The AM to PM Loft provided a space where elegance met reflection. Surrounded by vintage, refurbished furniture, the theme unfolded: In the comfort of our home, we’re going to discuss what’s happening outside.

The table was adorned with microgreens from Keimling Köln, edible centerpieces that invited touch and interaction. The menu presentation—delicate flowers trapped in plastic, layered with cigarette butts and papers—spoke to the suffocating impact of pollution on nature’s beauty. Every detail was intentional, blurring the line between art and reality to provoke thought and spark connection.
