SUMMER EVENT

Home design experts Evitavonni's fourth Annual Summer Garden Party
is their most spectacular yet

Interior Design supremoes Evitavonni recently hosted their fourth Annual Summer Garden Party. The event, held each year at their exquisite showrooms in Chobham, proved beyond shadow of doubt that this is the place to come for inspiration, guidance, and the very best in home design, fittings and furnishings.

Evitavonni are one of the most admired and sought-after Interior Design consultants and retailers in the UK. Since their launch, Evitavonni have proved time and again that their imagination, skill and expertise as lifestyle designers and retailers are simply unsurpassable. Their Chobham and Chelsea Harbour showrooms - and their forthcoming retail space in Farnham, Surrey - are a study in stylish, contemporary living. Ultra-modern kitchens, sumptuous bathrooms and bedrooms, and breath-taking living spaces provide inspiration and motivation to their discerning customer base… and their Summer Garden Party, held each year in May/June, is a perfect vehicle for showcasing their latest pieces.

Invitations to the 2011 Garden Party were extended to around 400 of Evitavonni's most loyal friends and customers; many of whom had travelled great distances to attend. The event was a sparkling blend of sunshine, fine wine and superb entertainment - all set in the stunning, sculpted gardens that border Evitavonni's Chobham showroom. Catering was provided by entertainment experts Cottage Caterers/Rhubarb, accompanied by an impressive selection of wines and champagnes, courtesy of Imbibros of Farnham. Much to the delight of the guests, the Imbibros team were also on-hand to offer advice and guidance on the range of vintages of grapes being served.

In a style that is befitting of Evitavonni, however, the entertainment did not stop there.  Guests were treated to a full evening of cookery demonstrations, provided by Sarah Hammond of Cottage Caterers, who talked guests through a range of mouth-watering Thai dishes. Further refreshments took the form of a fully-staffed Wok station, and an authentic Italian Gelateria. All of this was set to the infectious beats of Blue Note Mitch and The Red Hot Jacks, whose Rhythm & Blues repertoire really brought the atmosphere to life. As one guest commented: "Evitavonni's Garden Parties just get better and better… more glamorous; more imaginative and more fun each year. I can't think of a better way of demonstrating their design skills and their interiors. This will be a hard act to follow."

The evening was warm and dry, but as the sun began to set, it became clear the real stars of the evening were the furniture and interiors. These had been artfully arranged and displayed to demonstrate the real impact that an artistic, beautiful living space can have on one's life. Guests flowed through the room sets; captivated by the exquisite combination of materials and colours. The gardens themselves, meanwhile, contained a breath-taking arrangement of furniture and ornamental features: the perfect backdrop to a perfect summer's evening.
