I think this concept that Colin Cowie used for Jay-Z and Coldplay’s NYE party is smart, chic and modern.  There were to two different table designs alternating through the party. I don’t just mean “alternating centerpieces”—I mean completely different chairs, centerpieces and linens.

On silver tables, were beautiful florals in shades of merlot, burgundy and purple.  Paired with dark runners and varying holders, the black goblets are gorgeous!  The clear mirage chairs scream uberchic.

Not to be outdone, the “black” table featured all white florals in different containers with the black goblets and black mirage chairs.

There are other guest tables that appear to be squares with black linens and silver covered chiavaris.  these tables had fuchsia flowers bunched in the center.

Different concept—one event.  It is striking.
