SMOKE AND MIRRORS

Come, believe the lie and surrender to the pleasures in deceit.

ONE HUNDRED created an opulent immersive dining experience celebrating the 15th Anniversary of Bund 18 - Shanghai's premier culture and dining hub. A mix of haute cuisine from Joël Robuchon and illusionary magic from Blackstone Bar, Smoke and Mirrors was a heady hybrid of theatre, dining and festivity.

Cryptically turned away from Bund 18’s grand riverside entrance, guests began a surreal journey. Embarking down an evocative, neon lit ally; arriving in the bright splendour of a mirrored dining hall. With truth concealed behind a puff of smoke, deception became the utmost of pleasures.

“Why does it feel like déjà vu? Only those who were there can make sense of this mysterious and profound experience.”

Harper’s Bazaar

“'Smoke and Mirrors' is a bold artistic expression, creating a mysterious world full of magic, performance and food for you to enter.”
Cosmopolitan Magazine

“A revolutionary feast that combines immersive drama and fine dining into a new dreamlike concept.”
