At Smarts, we believe the best conversations – and the most memorable connections – happen when people come together around a table. That’s why we created Smarts Supper, a series of intimate dinners that bring together people who share our passion for creativity, culture, and community.
For our first Smarts Supper, we had the pleasure of partnering with Saigon Kiss – a collective whose work celebrates the richness of cultural storytelling. Their ethos reflects our commitment to Cultural Endurance – a thoughtful, intentional approach to shaping culture. Less about five seconds of fame and more about creating lasting impact – ensuring that what we build resonates far beyond the moment.
Saigon Kiss’s concept for the night, Aisles of Belonging, drew inspiration from the unique role of the Asian supermarket in connecting generations and cultures. The evening was a gorgeous reflection of community, tradition, and the shared experience of food.
Leanne Scott, Managing Partner Smarts Amsterdam says: “Smarts Supper is about creating spaces for conversations that inspire. Saigon Kiss brought that vision to life in such an unforgettable way.”
For Saigon Kiss, the evening was an opportunity to share their vision of cultural endurance. As Yến-Nhi Lê of Saigon Kiss shared: “With Aisles of Belonging, we wanted to create a dining experience that felt like home – where the past and future meet, in both taste and atmosphere.”
And this is just the start. Every Smarts Supper is about finding new ways to connect, celebrate, and create moments that stay with us long after the night is over. We can’t wait to see where the next supper takes us – and who will join us at the table.
