In 2013, Le Basque was commissioned by Hermes Homme to ideate a showcase of amuse-bouches that would underline the international fashion brand’s attention to detail. An arrangement of lobster tails, foie brulée and cheeses were served at the grand opening, which took place at the Design District’s Moore Building. Another such highlight is the Take Center Stage Gala at the Adrienne Arsht Center in 2008, where the floral theme was integrated by featuring giant paper roses that hovered just above the stage, designed by Le Basque.

Muguerza, the president and creative force behind Le Basque, credits his upbringing in northern Spain for the company’s culinary direction. A balance of tradition and innovation has defined the Basque country as one of the most highly regarded gastronomic cultures in the world. Muguerza’s heritage; his art studies in Florence; his years living in London and Brussels; and his travels around the world are some of the many influences behind his process.
