Condé Nast Traveller’s 2024 Diwali celebration brought guests to The Dorchester in collaboration with Cartier, honouring the Festival of Lights with a narrative-led experience rooted in tradition and community. A vibrant palette of light, colour, florals, diamond shapes and mirrored surfaces was used in bold, generous scale, creating a graphic, contemporary atmosphere throughout. Guests entered through a field of light, hundreds of candles sweeping across the floor, before reaching a reimagined rangoli: an interactive installation where flower petals, each representing a different wish, were laid by hand. After the night ended, petals were composted or transformed into confetti.
