Candle Display
Candle
designer Christopher Ong was our gracious and
upbeat host at the luxurious Arader Galleries,
the perfect setting for the launch of Ong's Madame
Butterfly candle (inspired by Puccini’s
Opera of the same name). The theme was illustrated
in flesh through live dance interpretations plus
a kimono clad model who floated through the room,
posing with the eclectic guests. In attendance
were: Mary and Michael Darling, chairpersons for
the National Stroke Association; Juan Borona www.juanborona.com,
the choreographer and event director for the party
; plus many candle collectors
and Christopher's interior design industry colleagues.

The William Arader
gallery was originally a one family town house.
The Galleries specialize in antique maps and Audubon
prints dating back to the early 1800s. The theme
and the venue presented a serene and sensory experience.
“ Slow down
and smell the serenity”
