The auction, moderated by Make-A-Wish volunteer Jonathan Dirollo, featured an array of unique furniture pieces crafted with Cosentino materials by four emerging interior designers: Naythan Low and William Lim of Doubble Interior Associates, Wei-Ming of Aureole Design, and Edward Tan of Spacemen Studios. Each piece showcased the designers' artistic visions and the versatility of Cosentino’s products.

A Culinary Delight
Complementing the visual feast, guests were treated to a European-inspired menu by Chef João of Olivia Deli. The dishes, including 'Croqueta de Carabinero' and 'Dark chocolate tartlette,' were artfully presented on trays crafted from the same innovative surfaces used in the auctioned furniture pieces, further highlighting the synergy between design and culinary artistry.
