Events with a point of view.

House of Mal creates design-led celebrations, dinners, brand moments, children's worlds, and private experiences in New York, the Hamptons, Miami, and beyond.

The work begins with the host, the guest list, the room, the food, the feeling, and the one detail that makes the whole thing unmistakably personal.

The method

First, we listen. Then we edit. Then we make it happen.

Interview

We look for the useful details, the joke, the food memory, the family ritual, the color someone insists they hate until they realize they love it.

Edit

A strong event has a point of view. We keep what serves it and let the rest go.

Produce

The creative part matters. The calm, organized, on-the-ground part is what lets the creative part actually happen.

Mallory's point of view

The wow is
table stakes.

A good-looking room is expected. The more interesting work is in the specificity, timing, food, comfort, humor, service, and small decisions that make people behave differently once they are inside it.
