Depth and scale dramatically shifted from tiny houses to a larger-than-life Queen of Hearts Throne, and guests engaged with the Mad Hatter’s tea party to giant playing cards, color changing mushrooms and secret rose gardens.

It’s as though the walls are breathing with these optical illusions and color-changing lights.

Enter Dancing Spandex, a world brought to life in collaboration with Aza Raskin.
