80 Plates for Bravo

A global culinary journey, reimagined as a single immersive night.

To launch Around the World in 80 Plates and preview its highly anticipated finale, Bravo set out to break from the traditional event format, creating an experience that would transport guests across continents through food, culture, and performance.

At the center of the concept were three large circular turntable stages, each designed with three distinct international vignettes. Across nine countries, guests moved through environments layered with authentic props, furniture, and custom scenic details, from a French countryside with live grass and charcuterie to the beaches of Thailand with powdery white sand. As the stages rotated on cue, so did the experience, revealing new destinations alongside live entertainment including flamenco guitarists, Brazilian samba percussionists, Indian sitar players, a Chinese lion dance, and a Bollywood-inspired Bhangra performance. Each transition was paired with culturally specific cuisine and cocktails, guiding guests from French cheeses to Moroccan specialties and beyond.

Interactive moments added another layer of engagement, with games like Guess and Flip and Taste the Exceptional Ingredient inviting guests to test their global knowledge. Every element worked together to create a fully sensory experience where guests could taste, touch, hear, and see the world unfold around them.

Our team led the concept, design, and full-scale production, delivering a dynamic, multi-sensory environment that captured the spirit of the series and brought Bravo’s vision to life.
