ANTHEIA COLLECTIVE INSTALLS
Foundry
Fine Dining Restaurant
HARTFORD, CONNECTICUT
Project Overview
Perched on the 20th floor with panoramic views of the Connecticut River and Hartford’s skyline, The Foundry is a destination for fine dining where every detail matters. As the restaurant prepared to elevate its ambiance and enrich the guest experience, Antheia Collective was invited to infuse the space with natural elements that would complement its dramatic setting—without compromising on elegance or ease.
Our team delivered custom preserved plant installations at the hostess station and throughout the dining area, creating a refined botanical touch that enhances the atmosphere from the moment guests arrive.
Scope of Work
Hostess Station Welcome Moment:
The first impression is everything. At the entry point of The Foundry, we designed a welcoming preserved foliage display that sets the tone: lush, polished, and perfectly aligned with the restaurant’s upscale aesthetic. This installation enhances the hospitality experience while introducing a soft, organic contrast to the clean architectural lines and glass-drenched surroundings.
Dining Area Enhancements:
Throughout the restaurant, subtle plant accents were placed to complement the interior’s palette and materials. The preserved botanicals add warmth and depth to the space, creating intimate zones for conversation while allowing the sweeping views to remain the star. Designed to thrive without light or watering, the installations preserve the ambiance effortlessly, night after night.

Why It Works
The Foundry is a space that tells a story, from its elevated views to its carefully curated menu. Antheia Collective’s biophilic accents support that story by grounding guests in nature while elevating the sophistication of the space. It’s a reminder that even at the top of the city, nature still has a place at the table.
