Once guests were all in attendance, it was time to be seated for a wonderful meal. To kick things off, guests were presented with sweet and spicy edamame, hamachi jalapeño rolls and popcorn shrimp. For entrees, Haute Leaders were served pineapple teriyaki salmon, spicy ginger filet mignon and a lovely risotto hot pot. Side dishes included truffle fries, truffle mac & cheese and miso roasted cauliflower. To round things off, dessert came in the form of Marion's imperial experience, which is comprised of an assortment of sweets, fruits and ice cream.

The Marion staff ended the meal with a bang by passing out limoncello shots, which were presented with strobe lights.

Fashionable Healthy Kitchen Appliances

In light of the pandemic, people have turned to a wellness living lifestyle reflected in their kitchen design. Wellness kitchen appliances make healthy living easy and effortless. Going into 2021, kitchens have transformed to include storage for whole foods, prep spaces, and innovated appliances to make healthy meals... can you say 'air fryer'?

Maximalism

A few years ago, the minimalism trend hit the design market. Originating in the '60's, the idea of having a stark white room with only the bare essentials was all the rage. Now, since Covid hit and everyone has been stuck inside, they realize they actually would like more colors. Maximalism is making the comeback with people putting mismatched furniture with wacky colors all over their house.

Plants

Greenery in the house is nothing new, but it has especially started trending since quarantine. As people were stuck inside, a little greenery helped bring the outdoors in to them, and make them feel less alone. Many new plant moms and dads were born in this era, and this trend will continue throughout the year.

The Color Green

Green has made its way back to the interior design world. Whether plants or kitchen cabinets, green brings a sense of relaxation and wellness to any home. Many designers have moved from whites and neutrals to pops of color. People strive for a healthy living lifestyle, and the green pop of color is perfect because it enraptures nature, wellness, and health.

What design trends do you see being popular in 2021?

The designers listed a variety of inspirations for this tasty design, citing everything from silent films to Bollywood music. Standouts were Georges Méliès’ 1902 French silent film Le Voyage Dans La Lune, Armenian surrealist Léon Tutundjian’s 1929 relief works, childhood Bollywood songs and the shape of early ice cream 'Bombes'.

In an interview posted by the designers, they said; “Our concept is almost spherical, so the ice cream has to be moulded in two separate parts and then put together without seeing the join. We love the ephemeral nature of ice cream and design to be eaten; we never had a design meeting before in which we ate the prototype.”

The "Ice moon" will be available from Häagen-Dazs in two colors (read: flavors) - white and orange. The white moon has a pistachio base, with layers of macadamia nut ice cream, meringue and raspberry ice cream. The orange moon has a crunchy chocolate base, with layers of nutty ice cream, salty caramel and vanilla ice cream.
