Another year, another Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki annual ball! This year the ball was wrapped around the current exhibition, ‘Olafur Eliasson: your curious journey’ which is an experimental collection with several nods to the environment and four elements. We designed an event that spoke to our creative and curious nature as humans, with various activations there to excite and delight the senses, leading to the creation of the Curious Ball.

We took our guests on a journey from entrance right through to the exhibition doors. Guests walked into an underwater world with all things blue and ocean-led, then into ‘middle earth’ which was a warm, firey atmosphere, and up to the nature bath which was set up like a native NZ garden. The story was told through strong use of AV production, dressing, event design, curious canapés and creative cocktails. To further add to the night, we had pop-up performances from Te Ohorere Williams, Atamira Dance & Ctenophora Co with NZDJ Collective spinning tunes all night.

A glance at our event this past weekend taking over the Gibbs Farm guest lodge for a high end client of ours.

Guests arrived in chauffeur driven vehicles and journeyed down a stoned path leading on to the lodge terrace where they were greeted with champagne and canapés.

A three course luncheon courtesy of Paris Butter followed before guests embarked on an hour journey of Gibbs Farm, taking in some of the renowned sculptures on the property.

All made possible thanks to Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki and their longstanding relationship with the Gibbs & .

A huge thanks to all those that made the production possible.

We were delighted when the Auckland Art Gallery asked us to produce the Walters Prize event for 2024; Aotearoa’s largest and most prestigious contemporary art award.

We collaborated with Kyle Street, owner and head Chef of Culprit., who took inspiration from each of the artists and designed a menu paying homage to each of their work.

From bespoke arrival cocktails (thanks to Waiheke Distilling Co) and an entry amuse-bouche, to the 4-course meal, and intricate floral tables scape (designed by The Botanist), we created an unforgettable experience that honoured this year's artists. Some manaakitanga we are very proud of!

Another throwback from the - VIVA 20th Birthday Party a few years ago in Tāmaki Makaurau.

More than 300 VIP guests raised their glasses to celebrate of 20 years of VIVA at the Auckland Museum back in Aug, 2018.

The dome was transformed into a glitter ball, literally, to host an array of names who had all contributed to the success of the brand over the past two decades.

VIP’s took a walk down memory lane as they joined the event, as VIVA's successful timeline of events and accomplishments were shared through various activations and displays to celebrate the huge milestone.

To the next 20 years, Viva - The New Zealand Herald!

Another special thanks to the VIVA sponsors, Champagne G.H.MUMM, Tiger Beer, Karven Craft Distiller, Matisse, Huawei and MINI.

Jumping into the to look back at this gorgeous activation lunch, ‘Taste of New Tealand’ that we created for Ti Ora Tea at Auckland’s French Cafe.

This multi- sensory experience was a luncheon event for media, influencers and customers; inspired by Aotearoa, New Zealand and Ti Ora who use premium hand selected teas with native New Zealand botanicals and natural ingredients.

Guests were taken on a journey to ignite the senses; hearing, touch, taste, smell and sight and every aspect of the experience was designed and created by the janda team

The drinks were a selection of mocktails made with Ti Ora Tea by mixologist, An Nguyen, and the bespoke menu, inspired by local ingredients, was created by renowned Auckland chef, Sid Sahrawat.

Another magical journey delivered by janda!
