About

ARLO Communal is a creative project inspired by the power of shared experiences. Started in Sydney, Australia in 2020 and now based in New York City, ARLO is driven by a passion for dining, storytelling, and the artistry of thoughtful food and drink.


Founded by Cal Fernie and Tobi Fox, ARLO brings together food, culture, hospitality, and creative production to create experiences with a distinct point of view. We collaborate with communities, like-minded brands, and cultural partners to develop projects that feel considered, engaging, and rooted in genuine connection. From intimate gatherings to larger public moments, ARLO creates space for conversation, discovery, and social exchange.


At its core, it is an ongoing exploration of how people come together, around a table, through a shared idea, or within an experience designed to be remembered.

About Our Name

About Our Name

In July 2020 in Sydney Australia, when Cal and Tobi started bringing people together over food, music, travel and the kind of conversations that do not happen by accident. The name came from a shared future idea: both had quietly saved it for a child. It felt right for something we wanted to grow together. ARLO Communal.
