One huge inspiration for me came in the beginning when I was watching couples dancing on that wacky show, So You Think You Can Dance (Yes, I like Reality TV). A Viennese waltz performed by Twitch and Carrington swept me away. The impression of the dance stayed with me but how could I incorporate this notion of intimacy into a dinner party for 20 people? I decided that instead of 20 separate settings there will be 10 settings for 2… How romantic of me.
