BizBash IdeaFest New York: 10 Event Design and Rental Ideas

High Style Rentals showed off its collection of colorful rentals on the show floor, including the bright yellow Jasmine chaise and Lord’s chair, and the purple Tiffany tête-à-tête.

Earlier this year, BML-Blackbird theatrical services partnered with Magnetic3D, a company that creates glasses-free 3D displays and digital signage, as its official A/V rental partner. At BML-Blackbird’s booth, attendees got a chance to see the 3D television in action.

Ruth Fischl’s booth showcased the linen and prop rental company’s patterned laser-cut material, which comes in the form of a rentable gazebo or can be applied to floors, tabletops, and lampshades.

A wall of potted succulents at the Zak Events booth offered an interesting way to display escort cards at events. IdeaFest attendees were invited to grab one as a takeaway gift.

GalaRoo made its debut, offering its new line of dual-pocketed seat cushions. Designed to help women keep track of their purses and cut down on tabletop clutter at events, the bengaline fabric cushions are made for use with Chiavari chairs and can be created in any custom color.

In addition to its new curved splash walls with changeable skins and burn-out patterned fabrics, Dazian displayed an example from its recently launched line of custom and rental hand-painted backdrops.

CORT Event Furnishings set up a central lounge area for attendees to showcase the newest additions to its Lounge22 collection, including the Bahia sofas, Crescent cocktail tables, and Odyssey Glow barstools and ottomans, all of which incorporated faux python and alligator skin accents. CORT recently announced that the Lounge22 collection is now available nationwide.

The CORT Event Furnishings lounge also included a prototype of the inflatable “Donut” table from its Blofield line. Signage encouraged guests to share their opinions of the outdoor-friendly seating on CORT’s Facebook page.

Classic Party Rentals set up a fall-themed table display that emphasized the versatility of its Chameleon Chair collection, which includes chair covers and cushions in a variety of colors and textures.

In addition to linens, BBJ showed off its newest glass chargers in a variety of colors and textures, including the holiday-appropriate Eternity dish in red-gold (pictured, far left).
