SWEET LIFE LOS ANGELES

Season 1 : Reunion

After the successful conclusion of the first season of Sweet Life: LA, we quickly shifted gears into planning the highly anticipated reunion episode. With the SmogShoppe in Culver City, CA, as our chosen venue, we set to work creating two distinct interview setups: one designed as an intimate lounge space and the other a large, collaborative table where the cast could engage in dynamic conversation. The venue's unique, eclectic style provided the perfect backdrop for the reunion, allowing us to craft an atmosphere that blended both personal reflection and group interaction seamlessly.
