“Welcome to the table” – this was the slogan of the latest edition of the Architects’ Dinner, which was held in the Tri-City for the fourth time. In the sophisticated setting of the Grino restaurant at Rezydent Sopot – MGallery Collection, over 60 guests, including architects and interior designers from renowned Tri-City studios, gathered at the table to celebrate their passion for constantly discovering the beauty hidden in everyday experiences until the late hours. And this passion, like any other, is most enjoyable when it can be shared with others.
The Architects’ Dinner is an original project by Olga Kisiel-Konopka, owner of OKK! PR, an agency specialising in creating the image of brands in the interior design and architecture industry.
For four years, the initiator of the event has been regularly inviting the most respected Polish architects, interior designers and designers to joint meetings, during which they have a unique opportunity to exchange experiences and inspiration, as well as engage in passionate discussions, whose temperament is in no way inferior to the temperature on the plates, often reaching a state of artistic boiling point. As Kisiel-Konopka emphasises, the now famous dinners are not only a carefully curated culinary spectacle, but above all, they provide a backdrop for building valuable relationships.
This time, the hosts invited their guests to the sophisticated interiors of the Grino restaurant, located in Rezydent Sopot – MGallery Collection. As always, the choice of venue was not accidental. The place is part of the portfolio of the renowned architectural studio Tremend. In their interior design concept, like in a chest full of souvenirs and treasures, the architects hid references to the Art Nouveau architecture of Sopot and the Baltic Sea resort landscape: sandy beaches, sea waves and the noble colour of amber.
All details, colours and textures of the materials have been selected in line with this story told through the language of architecture. For example, the carpet in the corridors is decorated with a transformed pattern from a photograph of the pier in Sopot, the headboards in the rooms are arranged to resemble sand blown by the wind on the Baltic Sea, and the lamps in the lobby, reminiscent of amber, bring to mind sea treasures washed ashore. All these inspirations were presented to the guests by Diana Zakrzewska, an architect from the Tremend studio, and Edyta Barańska, a renowned designer of decorative glass objects and the author of a spectacular, custom-made chandelier, which can be viewed in the Rezydent Sopot – MGallery Collection space. The stories were accompanied by a presentation by designer Anna Orska, whose context was the opening of a new Orska boutique in Gdańsk.
The preparation of the Architects’ Dinner would not have been possible without the involvement of OKK! PR’s friends: the Rezydent Sopot – MGallery Collection hotel and the brands Parkiet Hajnówka, Aluprof, Omnires, Rubio Monocoat, Kontakt-Simon, Bizzarto and TechniStone.
