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.

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.

Luxe Event Rentals also showed off two dramatic new curving chaises: the “Epic,” displayed in white, and the “Horizon,” shown in pink.
