Decor

January 27, 2015

A discreet entrance to the official SAG awards after-party hosted by People magazine was designed to recall the days of private speakeasies (although no password was required for party access).

Flowers popped against geometric golden tabletops, which sat amid seating groups in jade and emerald greens as well as grey tones.

Tufted sofas and framed photos of past SAG award winners gave the space an elegant, residential feel.

Wooden-beam grid ceilings lent a sense of intimacy in the space.

The centerpiece of the party space was a 50-foot-long octagonal bar.

Curving chainmail chandeliers imparted a sense of opulence, a nod to the hidden venues of the Prohibition era.

Instead of a traditional dark wood bar, the six-foot reclaimed wood version from Designer 8 Event Furniture Rental complements rustic-theme events. The bar, $495, is available in Southern and Northern California and Phoenix.

The orange and gray Trellis rug from Taylor Creative adds a little pop of color to a neutral setting, comes in two different sizes (5 by 8 feet, $300, or 7 by 9 feet, $400), and is available throughout the mid-Atlantic region.

Airbnb at Sundance

For the second year, hospitality company Airbnb partnered with the festival to host an activation in Park City. Dubbed the Haus, the activation took over a venue on Main Street. The spot, open through January 30, welcomes all festival attendees and offers a coffee bar with hot beverages from San Francisco's Four Barrel.

Canon Creative Studio at Sundance

Produced for Canon U.S.A. Inc. by Sunshine Sachs, Dentsu America, and A Creative Force, the Canon Creative Studio at Sundance took over another space on Main Street. The venue offered programming and a hospitality hub that showcased the company's products. Window light boxes featured an image of Park City taken by photographer Carla Boecklin, who used a Canon to snap the photo. Canon has had a presence on festival grounds for five years, but has only hosted the daytime venue for two years.
