A space installation for a private dinner party in East Williamsburg using a single piece of muslin cloth.

This project elevates the everyday dining experience into a spatial relationship with its built environment. Guests don’t just dine, they pause, explore, and connect with the tablecloth's activation of the surrounding volume——an examination of how tensional relationships between planes and volumes can be woven into contemporary gatherings.

The final result is a sculptural, abstract form redefining the traditional tablecloth's role: a continuous, curved plane stretching towards the ceiling like a canopy, adding an additional layer of privacy from the outside space.
