The Conno|sior Exhibit continues to captivate with its thoughtful curation of luxury living spaces which included an exquisite dining room exhibit, Luncheon Luxury, that brought a fresh take on sophistication and color.

A collaborative effort between Mav Furniture, M Décore, and the creative vision of IDr Migs Alcid, PIID of SoFA Design Institute, this space has been expertly styled by Ar. Ela Margarita Zabayle and Aurora Claudia “Duday” Gaston to embody the essence of contemporary elegance with a vibrant twist.

A Harmonious Blend of Luxury and Color

The Luncheon Luxury dining room offers a demonstration on how to balance bold colors with understated sophistication. At first glance, it’s the vibrancy of the palette that draws you in. Rich hues—ranging from Prussian and blue tones to creams—intertwine with luxe textures, creating a dynamic interplay between color and form.

Yet, it’s more than just a visual spectacle. The careful curation of Mav Furniture’s signature pieces anchors the space, offering a timeless foundation that is accentuated by M Décore’s details. This harmonious fusion of luxury and color speaks to the heart of the Conno|sior philosophy—where design transcends aesthetics, transforming everyday spaces into places of narrative and expression.

A Contemporary Dining Experience

Zabayle and Gaston’s styling transforms the dining room into a space that is not only visually alive but also highly functional. The design seamlessly integrates the modern elements of Mav Furniture’s sleek dining table and statement chairs with the whimsical flair of M Décore’s eclectic accessories. It’s a space designed for the modern connoisseur—someone who appreciates the finer things in life but isn’t afraid to make bold, artistic choices.

The dining table serves as the focal point of the room, with its minimalist lines and luxurious materials, a true representation of contemporary elegance. Surrounding it, the chairs offer both comfort and character, showcasing how functionality can marry form effortlessly. The arrangement invites you to imagine lively gatherings where sophistication meets warmth, a testament to the art of masterful living.

The Art of Styling

Ar. Ela Margarita Zabayle and Duday Gaston’s styling truly shines in Luncheon Luxury. Every detail is carefully considered, from the placement of statement art pieces to the choice of accent lighting, creating a space that feels both curated and livable.

They skillfully use color not as a dominant force but as an accent to enhance the room's ambiance. The interplay of deep blues, citrus hues, and textured neutrals brings depth and dimension, while metallic accents—bronze and gold—add a layer of opulence without overpowering the overall design. The result is a space that feels rich, inviting, and distinctly contemporary.

A Collaborative Vision

The Luncheon Luxury dining room is a testament to the power of collaboration. The partnership between Mav Furniture, M Décore, and IDr Migs Alcid, alongside the styling brilliance of Zabayle and Gaston, showcases how diverse creative minds can come together to create something truly exceptional.

This dining room exhibit is part of the broader Conno|sior theme, which reimagines luxury as an art form that combines comfort, beauty, and personal storytelling. In Luncheon Luxury, the narrative is clear: it’s a space for those who appreciate not just the finer things in life but the thought and artistry that goes into creating a truly masterful living experience.

Elevating Dining to an Art Form

Luncheon Luxury isn’t just a dining room—it’s a statement. Through its sophisticated yet colorful design, the exhibit shows that luxury doesn’t have to be confined to minimalism or tradition. Instead, it can be vibrant, bold, and full of character, while still maintaining an air of elegance and refinement.

For visitors to the Conno|sior Exhibit, this dining room offers inspiration for how to approach their own spaces. It’s a reminder that luxury is personal, and the art of masterful living lies in finding a balance between beauty, comfort, and self-expression. With Luncheon Luxury, Mav Furniture, M Décore, and SoFA Design Institute have set a new benchmark for contemporary living spaces that are both sophisticated and full of life.
