A Weekend
of Gathering
An intimate autumn retreat shaped around objects, seasonality and the quiet ritual of coming together.
01 / The idea
The last warmth of the season
A country-house experience where Zara Home is not displayed, but lived with.
Two unhurried days for a carefully selected group of guests, moving from the garden to a harvest dinner and waking to a personal basket prepared for a slow breakfast at home.
The central gesture
The act of gathering.
To gather is to collect what the season offers, to bring objects into a new composition and to bring people around one table. Woven baskets become the visual thread of the entire stay: sculptural at dinner, personal by morning.
02 / The experience
One night, two days,
one unfolding story.
Designed for an intimate group of 10–18 guests. The rhythm is intentionally light: enough direction to make every moment feel considered, enough freedom for the place to be truly experienced.
Day two
Breakfast · Departure
- A bespoke Zara Home breakfast basket in each apartment
- A slow breakfast, prepared in each guest’s own kitchen
- A quiet departure
03 / The setting
A proposed location
Aštriosios Kirsnos dvaras
A restored historic estate in southern Lithuania, where the scale of the park and the intimacy of six apartments allow the event to feel both expansive and deeply personal. All imagery in this proposal is creative reference material; official views of the estate are available through the link below.

04 / The dinner
A table at the edge of autumn
The season, served at its most expressive.
A mobile kitchen setup will be adapted to the chosen setting and the exact conditions of the estate. The menu follows the season rather than a fixed geography, bringing together orchard fruit, late vegetables, mushrooms, grains, butter and other ingredients at their natural peak.
05 / The basket
One object · two moments
From shared abundance to a private ritual.
01
At dinner
Baskets appear in abundance—as vessels, sculptural forms and edible still lifes. Their repetition creates the unforgettable image of the evening.
02
By morning
A bespoke Zara Home edition of the estate’s breakfast basket awaits guests in each apartment. Its seasonal ingredients echo the dinner menu, translating the shared concept into a private morning ritual. Guests prepare breakfast in their own kitchen using selected Zara Home pieces.
06 / The objects
Product becomes
part of the ritual.
Zara Home enters the weekend through use rather than display. Each object has a role in a real ritual: a lamp turned on at dusk, linen unfolded for dinner, a glass held through conversation, a tray carried into the morning. The final product edit will be shaped together with Zara Home around these moments of use.
