What happens when Oklahoma City’s most creative minds come together around the dinner table?
Something you won’t find anywhere else.

Celebrating a decade of extraordinary collaboration, Design Appetit brings together more than 40 chefs, dozens of designers and architects, and 20 immersive dining environments—all in support of Focus on Home, a nonprofit helping newly housed individuals and families turn their spaces into homes.

In Luxiere’s latest editorial, writer Greg Horton explores the people, imagination and purpose behind one of Oklahoma City’s most distinctive cultural experiences—and why this remarkable event deserves a bigger spotlight.

Ten years of bringing Oklahoma City’s creative community together through food, art, and design.

As Design Appétit celebrates its 10th anniversary, we had the opportunity to help shape the next chapter of an event that has become a meaningful tradition in our city, all in support of Focus on Home and the families they serve.

Rooted in Focus on Home’s color palette, we developed a new brand identity designed to grow with the event for years to come. This year’s theme, In Full Spectrum, comes to life through DA20: 20 creative teams creating 20 immersive worlds, each bringing its own interpretation of color, design, and cuisine to the table.

We’re proud to see this year’s event and the creative community behind it featured in Luxiere Magazine and The Oklahoman.

Join us October 21–22 for the $25 Lunch Stroll Preview, $75 Cocktail Preview, or four-course chef’s dinner at the $250 Community Table Gala.
