AFR Networking Tour Stop Philadelphia “AROUND THE WORLD IN 180 MINUTES”
Philadelphia, PA November 8, 2012 - The next stop on the AFR Tour was 2424 Studios, where 225 guests took a quick trip around the world at the AFR National Networking Tour Stop.
Welcome to South America! With flair of Rio, paper flowers hung from the ceiling and the space featured the Tangerine and Imperial collections topped with Extravaganza pillows. A steel drum player set the party mood. Candy and espresso stations were created out of Umber Bars and featured a Chiquita girl in a red dress…nothing quite like an “oohlala” to start off a great party.
Next it was onto the etouches lounge and a stop at a photo booth where guests had their Passport Photos taken and then headed onto Australian Outback. Vermont tables were set up as design tabletops and were intermixed with the Chateau collection. Add in some animals skin rugs, and the look was rustic and warm.
Globetrotting guests headed back up to North America and New York City. In this area, the look was sleek and modern with food stations cre- ated with white square café and Tetrad tables. Beverages were served from Manhattan Bars. Bravo high tables with nickel finish provided a place to set a drink or plate of delicious bites from the buffets. Guests could dance to a DJ spinning party tunes or paint it up at the Graffiti Wall.
Then, across the Atlantic to romantic Italy. Hayden tables and the Crystal Collection were the foundation for the design here. Stylish and lovely, a dancer/model posed and moved on a crystal chaise and ottoman. A glass blower designed gems and charms for guests to take with them as a memento. VIP Glow bars with white crystal bar surrounds served as food stations.
An African Safari was next where AFR’s Grass Line was combined with the Winston, Harmony and Broadway collections to create eclectic
lounge groupings throughout the area. Umber Bars with Regal Leather Bar Stools provided a place to perch and enjoy a cupcake or have the Tarot Card Reader foretell their future.
In Asia, guests stepped into another world where Japan provided a beautiful experience. Created from 16’ black sheer drape, a big Buddha surrounded by flickering candles and floral accents created the peaceful Zen of the space. Hayden benches created low-lying tables surrounded by black pillows were guests could sit and enjoy dining Buddahkahn style. The Evoke Collection provided additional seating.
In India, it was all about the lovely colors found within their markets and street bazaars and the Function line with Extravaganza covers set the tone. Bollywood style buffets were laden with Indian foods and served by wait staff in traditional Indian finery.
Under a high peak top white tent, icy Antarctica was set in white with cool tones of blues and a snowy white Sophistication collection. Glow bars created icy Vodka bars and Adult Snow Cones.
It was a whirlwind of a trip, and as guests left there was one last good night snack at one of the food trucks on their way out.
