Design Trend of the Decade

“Far and away, the largest trend in design for events over the past ten years has been the lounge. While 10 years ago, sitting next to the same person for a four-hour event seemed to work, now people want to work the crowd and talk to everyone, which is why the lounge is so appealing.”

“Bars have become a central, eye-catching focal point. As facades have become more decorative and design-driven over the years, they can be used as an amazing centerpiece for an event.” Brittany Lucas, Suite 206, Dallas(Pictured: A bar from Rentquest at the Whitney Museum’s Art Party in New York in 2007)
