On Thursday, January 24, Girari Sustainable Event Furnishings hosted its annual tabletop design competition at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles. Produced by Sterling Engagements in conjunction with Town and Country Event Rentals, eight designers took on the challenge of decorating one of Girari’s clear top tables, which were judged on creativity, workmanship, and the decorator’s interpretation of the table’s design. The first-prize winner, Pamela Ferrari Productions, took home a prize of $5,000 in event furniture rental credits.
