Operating in a unique and ever-evolving space where hospitality intersects with experience, style, storytelling, travel, and refined design, ARLO has carved out a seat at the table. We thrive on collaboration - partnering with brands, venues, and individuals to turn bold ideas into immersive, meaningful realities. Every engagement is tailored, intentional, and deeply personal. From Sydney Australia. Based NYC. Connecting worldwide. ARLO Communal is a creative hospitality collective, curating thoughtful human experiences and visual storytelling around the table and beyond. We collaborate with brands and individuals in the hospitality and lifestyle space to craft experiences that feel intentional, memorable, and culturally relevant - from creative direction through to culinary execution and market presence.
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.
