Wanting unique—and glamorous-looking—furnishings for events, Stacey Cynamon and Cele Pasternak, who have been hosting parties together for years, joined to launch a new company called Lounge Rentals Inc. "We got a job within a week without having any furniture," said Pasternak, who added that they quickly came up with some sketches and called on a local upholsterer to help.
The company, which has provided decor for spaces like ET Canada's TIFF lounge in Yorkville and events like Flare magazine's 30th anniversary gala, currently offers four distinct collections, including pieces they designed themselves. Event and company logos can be added to white Louis chairs, ribbon detailing can be added to table and floor lamps, and throw pillows can be accented with pearls and jewels.
Pricing starts at $250 for sofas, mirrored coffee tables rent for $100, cocktail tables rent for $125, and stools accented with shiny studs are $30. "We always want to be fashion forward," said Pasternak. "And we want to concentrate on what we consider to be the beautiful aspects of a party."
