Manifesting 17th Century Allure with a Modern Twist.
La Vie was asked to create the opening events of several high-end bespoke office spaces of ‘The Collection’ across Amsterdam. Building on the heritage of these majestic venues for our creative approach, we brought the allure of the 17th Century to life – with a modern twist. By wrapping them in giant golden bows, we caught the eye of passers-by.

Studio La Vie had the honour of leading the creative production for JFK Magazine’s annual Greatest Man Award. The evening opened with a custom choreography, followed by a brass band playing house classics. Later, renowned DJs took over, bringing the dance floor alive.
We transformed 'Warehouse Elementenstraat' into a stylish event space for Citylink's relationship event. Drawing inspiration from the company's core business, we used boxes, bubble wrap, tape, overalls, and shelving units. Guests enjoyed dinner served on a ten-meter-long conveyor belt, and hosts dressed in bubble wrap offered welcome cocktails from a shelving unit.

Ventuno wanted a launch to remember. Their concept builds on the ‘vibrant Italian-American eateries of early 20th Century New York’ and brings it alive with ‘Amsterdam’s modern heartbeat’. La Vie took out their contacts book and booked artists who know how to celebrate in style. And celebrate we did. The evening was a spectacular and exuberant fusion of glam and gastronomy.

The happy couple asked La Vie to plan an unconventional wedding. They loved Amsterdam’s old-school club the Roxy, the movie ‘the cook, the thief, the wife and his lover’, and wanted a winter wedding. And so, on a cold February Sunday guests arrived at a dazzling circus tent filled with noir oddities, artistic surprises and long tables decadently laden with candles and champagne. The ceremony was held during dinner before the former Roxy DJs turned down the tent.

During the pandemic, La Vie developed the concept and set up Bohiem restaurant. Bohiem prepares intimate dinners over an open fire, using local ingredients, many from our own land. Pit cooking, fermenting, hot- and cold-smoking, and clay baking: the chefs take you on a culinary adventure in the outdoor kitchen. After dinner, unwind by the campfire with a cocktail and s’mores. The night ends in a luxurious tent, followed by breakfast in the morning.
An extraordinary outdoor dining experience.
