ARLO operates at the intersection of hospitality, experience, design, and storytelling—crafting immersive, thoughtful moments that resonate. Built in Sydney and now based in NYC, we collaborate globally with brands, venues, and creatives to bring ideas to life in a way that feels intentional and personal. ARLO is a creative hospitality collective, focused on curating meaningful experiences around the table and beyond. From creative direction to culinary execution, we partner with those in hospitality and lifestyle to shape work that is culturally relevant and built to last.

Creative (Hospitality) Collective
Cal
Tobi
Founded by two friends, Tobi Fox and Cal Fernie. Cal works across fashion, media, and brand production. With a career spanning photography, creative direction, and content, he has developed a deep fluency in how brands communicate - what makes an image land, a story resonate, and an experience feel considered. Tobi is a chef and culinary creative shaped by years in some of the world's most respected kitchens. Driven by a curiosity for culture and technique, his menus are researched, felt, and built to tell a story from the first bite to the last. Together, they founded ARLO out of a shared conviction that food, design, and culture belong in the same room.
