ROSEWOOD LONDON LAUNCHES FIRST NFT ACTIVATION IN TANDEM WITH THEIR NEW SALVADOR DALÍ-INSPIRED ART AFTERNOON TEA
Rosewood London is launching a brand-new Art Afternoon Tea, taking inspiration from renowned Surrealist artist, Salvador Dalí and the current exhibition at the Tate Modern, Surrealism Beyond Borders. The newest collection of the Mirror Room’s popular Art Afternoon Tea will be influenced by the late painter’s most notable works and guests will be further immersed into Dalí’s vision with an AR (Augmented Reality) experience, as well as being able to kick-off their own personal NFT collection.
Rosewood London is the first Afternoon Tea in the UK to launch a consumer-grade augmented reality NFT experience that is retrieved directly from the phone browser. Guests visiting the Dalí-inspired Art Afternoon Tea will not only walk away with their digital afternoon tea token called an ‘NFTea’ but will enter an augmented reality as the Mirror Room is taken over by virtual butterflies, in which a handful of lucky winners can unlock exclusive prizes. Prizes will range from a glass of Ruinart Rose Champagne for everyone at the table, to a complimentary art afternoon tea and overnight stay.
Designed by Executive Pastry Chef, Mark Perkins and his team, the Dalí-inspired Art Afternoon Tea will comprise three courses: traditional sandwiches, a sweet course and a centrepiece trio of Dalí inspired cakes which will feature the QR code to secure an NFTea. Starting with a selection of freshly made finger sandwiches, guests can expect roast chicken and piquillo pepper on saffron bread, black truffle with asparagus and Clarence Court eggs in a brioche bun and a crayfish choux with smoked caviar. Followed by a nod to one of Dalí’s most famous artworks, the ‘Lobster Telephone’ (1936) is made of a Valrhona Chocolate sponge with a passionfruit jelly insert and garnished with a passionfruit chocolate lobster. The sweet dish will be a prelude to the three Dalí inspired art cakes.
OPENING HOURS Wednesday to Sunday from noon to 6.00 p.m Price is £72 per person
