Light Gathering in the Yuàn 光聚院心, an immersive dining experience shaped by light, culture, and contemporary Chinese hospitality, will make its debut this January as part of the DesignTO Festival. Presented inside The Light Room, a new experimental design space created by Mason Studio and VYVYD Lighting within Mason Studio’s Cultural Hub, the event marks the inaugural activation of an ongoing exploration into how illumination shapes emotion, ritual, and human connection.
The evening brings together Mason Studio, VYVYD Lighting, and Chef Eva Chin of Yan Dining Room for a
sensory event shaped by light, space, and contemporary Chinese hospitality. Inspired by the traditional
yuàn—a courtyard at the heart of a home—the experience welcomes guests into a world where gathering
feels both familiar and new, offered over two intimate, ticketed evenings.
In Chinese tradition, the Yuàn is more than an architectural form; it is the emotional center of domestic
life, a place where families meet, celebrate, honour ancestors, and move through seasonal rituals. It is a
space shaped by light, open sky, and human connection, making it a natural foundation for an event
devoted to illumination, hospitality, and shared experience.
The night opens with a gesture of hospitality that shifts guests into a different state of mind. The event
unfolds like a living courtyard: Chef Eva Chin shaping a modern raw seafood bar inspired by Chinese
flavours through memory and craft; Mason Studio creating the spatial rhythm and environmental
experience; VYVYD Lighting scripting illumination that moves and drifts with the senses. These elements
converge inside The Light Room, where light becomes both atmosphere and storyteller. With each course,
the space subtly transforms, deepening the connection between flavour, memory, and place.
When dinner is not in session, The Light Room remains open as an installation, its lantern-like glow
lingering, traces of celebration still present, the room warm with the nearness of those who’ve just
gathered. Visitors are invited into this afterglow, where light and space continue their quiet conversation.
Presented as part of DesignTO, with DBD CoLab supporting the creative connection between collaborators.
Tickets are available for purchase HERE.

About YOUNGBLOOD
Dean Youngblood was raised by his father, Blane, on a diet of toughness and hockey. When Dean is invited to join the Hamilton Mustangs, he travels to Canada from Detroit where his skill commands respect and his arrogance earns him fast enemies. Coach Chadwick, resentful of being saddled with such a toxic player, keeps Dean benched game after game. Dean’s frustration builds, culminating in a violent outburst involving rival goon Carl Racki that costs the Mustangs a significant win.
As Team Captain Sutton takes him under his wing, Dean begins to buck Blane’s teachings and his growing maturity spurs a relationship with Jessie – Coach Chadwick’s daughter – who gives Dean a run for his money on and off the ice. His newfound resolve draws the ire of Racki, who provokes Dean during a game by attacking and seriously injuring Sutton. As the final game of the playoffs approaches, so does his showdown with Racki and Dean’s choice as to what kind of man he wants to be.

Today, Prime Video unveiled the official trailer and key art for the second season of Cross, the high-stakes hit crime thriller based upon characters created by James Patterson. From Paramount Television Studios starring and executive produced by Aldis Hodge, the new season will premiere February 11, 2026 on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide, launching with the first three episodes followed by weekly installments leading up to the season finale on March 18, 2026.

Detective Alex Cross and FBI Agent Kayla Craig (Alona Tal) lead a new joint mission to protect Durand and to find the killer, who leaves behind gruesome clues. Meanwhile, John Sampson (Isaiah Mustafa), Cross’ partner and longtime best friend, makes an unexpected connection.
The Cross universe expands with standout new cast members Matthew Lillard, Jeanine Mason, and Wes Chatham, each bringing a commanding presence to the series, alongside returning stars Isaiah Mustafa, Alona Tal, Samantha Walkes, Juanita Jennings, Caleb Elijah, Melody Hurd, and Johnny Ray Gill.
In addition to Watkins, who also appears in a recurring role this season, and Hodge, Cross is executive produced by Sam Ernst, Jim Dunn, J. David Shanks, Aiyana White, Craig Siebels, Owen Shiflett, James Patterson, Bill Robinson, and Patrick Santa.

Synopsis: From Shondaland and Jess Brownell, BRIDGERTON returns for a fairy-tale inspired fourth season. Bohemian second son Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson) refuses to settle down, despite pleas to the contrary from matriarch Lady Violet Bridgerton (Ruth Gemmell). Until — at Violet’s masquerade ball, Benedict is awestruck by a masked, mysterious Lady in Silver. With the reluctant help of his sister Eloise (Claudia Jessie), Benedict sets out in society to uncover the young lady’s identity. But in fact, his heart’s desire is not in society at all — she is a resourceful maid called Sophie Baek (Yerin Ha), working for the formidable Lady of the house, Araminta Gun (Katie Leung).
When fate brings Benedict and Sophie back together, Benedict wrestles between the reality of his affection for this intriguing maid and the fantasy of the Lady in Silver — unaware that they are the same person. Will Benedict’s inability to see these women as one in the same derail the undeniable spark between him and Sophie? And can love truly conquer anything — even a cross-class connection forbidden by society?
Inspiring Benedict’s journey are the marriages of his siblings —including Francesca (Hannah Dodd) to John Stirling (Victor Alli), and Colin (Luke Newton) to Penelope (Nicola Coughlan), who faces new challenges as a now public gossip columnist.
