“Damien was instrumental in bringing our project, Sensory Experiments, to life during MelbourneDesignWeek. He is an incredibly talented individual with a 'Get Stuff Done' attitude, a creative mindset, and above all, an amazing human. ”

- Mages Ruiz Dias, DIAZ DAVIS

An eclectic cohort of creative contributors gathered together to design a provocative experience intended to awaken the senses. While internationally renowned chef Justin James (Executive Chef of Vue de monde and Iki Jime and previously of Eleven Madison Park & Noma Copenhagen) reignited guests’ sense of taste, they were also confronted by floral artist Hattie Molloy’s interrogation of sensual perception with her reckoning of the Sublime. Participants also had a chance to witness live-choreographed performances, and be aurally challenged by the masters behind the Sydney Opera House’s iconic acoustics.
