THE SCENE




From Whitehouse.gov :
The décor for the State Dinner honoring President Xi and Madame Peng combines the artistry of Chinese and Western aesthetics, demonstrating a deep respect for both Chinese and American architecture and landscapes.

The rose, a calligraphic representation of the flower that is precious to the East and West, serves as the emblem of this State Dinner. The two roses calligraphed on a 16-foot hand-printed silk scroll, signify a complete meeting of minds.

Representations of nature fill the space, with cascading landscapes of crimson flowers on tables echoing the disappearing roses in the windows of the East Room. The eternal beauty of the rose represents the richness of each individual culture and the perennial friendship and everlasting respect between our two countries.
