Private Event

On February 1st, the Pavillon Gabriel in Paris was transformed into a captivating celebration of Japanese culture for an exclusive private event. From the very first step, guests were immersed in a world of refined elegance and thoughtful detail. A stunning Welcome Tree greeted attendees at the entrance, offering paper tags that revealed their table numbers.

The venue unfolded into a series of beautifully curated experiences that paid tribute to the rich aesthetics and spirit of Japan. At the center of the space, a majestic cherry blossom tree crowned the main bar, setting the tone for a night of immersive beauty. Surrounding it, exquisitely designed buffet stations offered a journey through Japanese gastronomy, with culinary creations presented under names like Ramen Kingdom, Sea of Japan, and House of Gyoza. The menu, masterfully crafted by the renowned Potel et Chabot, ensured a sophisticated and authentic dining experience.

Beyond the cuisine, guests were invited to explore a series of interactive experiences designed to engage and enchant. A live Mangaka station featured a talented artist creating real-time portraits, while an interactive drawing table encouraged creativity in a relaxed setting. On the terrace, a retro-inspired arcade corner added a playful twist with games like air hockey and basketball. A curated merchandise station offered exclusive apparel and whimsical collectibles—including Jellycat plush toys and themed Onigiri kits—that reflected the evening’s cultural theme.

As the night progressed, the seamless fusion of artistic expression, culinary excellence, and joyful interaction created an atmosphere that was both elegant and energizing. The event offered a beautifully modern interpretation of Japanese tradition—one that celebrated craftsmanship, creativity, and connection in the heart of Paris.
