Luxury in White and Gold
“Undeck the halls of all scraps of the workday to make room for guests to have visions of sugarplums instead of paperwork. Transforming the boardroom with draping and custom cream carpeting repurposes the space from meetings to elegance. Dim lighting enhances a neutral palette with playful pops of red and gold. The plinking of piano keys carries over the hum of conversations never had around the water cooler. As everyone gets comfortable, Beverly, the quiet accountant who has had just enough peppermint white Russians, slinks on top of the piano to sing ‘What Are You Doing New Year’s Eve?’ Post-party, the water-cooler talk is all about the night the office was anything but business as usual.”—Christopher Confero for David Beahm Design

Stevens and Vianney updated Wedgewood’s stoneware look with avant-garde florals, quartz, china plating, and even a small fish floating in one of the acrylic boxes.
