Emmy's

HBO’s party took over the outdoor space at the Pacific Design Center, with a fire theme appropriate for the sweltering day in Los Angeles. HBO vice president of special events Cindy Tenner once again worked with designer Billy Butchkavitz, who has been designing events for HBO since 1994. A 27-foot-high flame sculpture on a rotating platform was the party’s centerpiece, and ombré-patterned custom carpet covered 50,000 square feet underfoot. The event's 25-foot-high decorative perimeter walls were covered with flowing draperies embellished with iridescent paillette sequins and punctuated by 25-foot-high red lacquer columns.
