Cities Without Houses: all the highlights from last October

This special edition Design Guild Dinner, held with contemporary design studio and gallery Slancha, brought members together in GASWRX Birmingham, for an evening of conversation and connection. Centred around the theme ‘Take a Seat’, guests were invited to take home their chairs after dinner as a lasting memento of the evening.

 

Earlier this month, we checked into Soho House Tokyo for our annual CWH Weekender. Members from across Asia enjoyed connecting with the CWH community from Singapore, New Delhi, and Dubai over sushi at the chef’s table, a matcha workshop, an okonomiyaki dinner after dark, kickboxing, and late sets from Tokyo DJs, plus plenty of saké. In between, there was time for design walks in the Aoyama and Omotesando neighbourhood before the weekend closed with a Sunday run club.

 

Looking ahead to the arrival of Soho House Sydney, we welcomed the Australia Fashion Council to Soho House Paris for a special celebration of emerging creative talent. The gathering recognised 12 designers selected to travel to Paris to showcase their collections at the Australia Fashion Rooms to showcase their SS27 collections, offering them the opportunity to connect with buyers, media, and industry leaders and share their work with an international audience.

 

Cities Without Houses members in New Delhi gathered at circular fashion brand rkivecity for an after-hours preview of The School Project, the latest collection by designer Ritwik Khanna, inspired by the uniforms and memories of his former boarding school. Guests explored the stories behind the collection, brought their own pieces to the repair station and enjoyed freshly made pizza by Naples-born master pizzaiola Susy (of the renowned Pizzeria da Susy), Picantes from 1800 tequila, and a vinyl soundtrack.

 

Member favourite Secret Sounds made its Singapore debut with a special race week edition at COMO Metropolitan Singapore. The evening brought together music, cocktails and a surprise performance from Yolanda Be Cool followed by a DJ set by JR Reyne, as part of our series celebrating exceptional global musical talent.

 

Wax Tales arrived in San Francisco at Saint Joseph’s Arts Society with Grammy Award-winning artist Durand Bernarr, in conversation with fellow Grammy Award-winning singer Dixson. The evening brought together music, playback, and personal stories behind the records that have shaped generations.

 

CWH Sydney and Melbourne members travelled down the coast for a special Soho Weekender at Hotel Sorrento. Members and guests had the opportunity to explore the beauty of the Mornington Peninsula through food, wine, and culture. From a Le Labo scent discovery journey and cocktail hour in the Lobby Bar to an intimate chef’s table dinner with wine pairings and rooftop drinks to the sound of a DJ set, the experience celebrated the best of Australian hospitality while creating moments for our community to connect.

 

Detroit

The Wax Tales train pulled up in Detroit for a session with former Def Jam Recordings president Kevin Liles and former YouTube director of Black music and culture Tuma Basa. Their evening explored the stories behind the records that have shaped the music industry across generations, through conversation, playback and personal insights.

 

Atlanta

Our CWH Atlanta community gathered with Sarah LaFleur, founder of NYC-based womenswear brand M.M.LaFleur, Memento Gallery owner Madison Dailey, and Kimber Warren, founder of glassware brand Sela K for a discussion focused on building businesses with intention, cultivating a distinct point of view, and navigating an ever-evolving marketplace as women in business.

 

Our CWH members in Palm Springs gathered for drinks and bites at Villa Royale and enjoyed an evening of great food and meaningful conversation, while taking the opportunity to explore the hotel grounds. Bringing together new and familiar faces, the mixer was an opportunity for members and guests to connect, share stories and build new relationships within the local CWH community.
