Alter Native x Project Coal

I met Desmond & Charice mid of last year when they had the idea of creating a home private dining concept featuring local artisans & makers who work with natural processes & materials. I love how the two had a clear sense of direction in wanting to create an experience like no other. Guests would be encouraged to not only use their sense of sight & taste, but also touch & smell.

It has been a pleasure working and hanging out with these two amazing beings, super thankful for giving me the opportunity to adorn the space. The space showcases old and new works made between 2019-2022. An intimate and homely space adorned with our naturally dyed textiles and woven pieces.

Desmond’s menu is a testament to his years of experience, creativity & fearlessness to innovate while staying true to himself. Combine that with Charice’s design & art curation background, they bring a whole new perspective on food & craft.
