DESIGNING MEMORABLE EVENT SPACES
Client: Howard Smith Wharves | Location: Brisbane, QLD | Photography: Red Stockholm
For the 2024 Howard Smith Wharves Menu Launch, Valiant's styling concept embraced the Relax & Radiate theme, immersing guests in a world where bold, vibrant hues met sophisticated, natural textures. The focal point was our new Tottie Ottomans, strategically placed to create a seamless flow of soft, radiant colour combinations ranging from orange to pink and lemon. These hues beautifully complemented the natural woven details of the Idra Bar Stools and light-wood inspired Idra Cafe Tables, also part of our Spring Summer 24/25 furniture collection, adding texture and a rustic edge to the aesthetic.
Inside the Rivershed, the Eva Banquette Sofas took center stage with their unique snaking design, composed of convex and concave modular sections, creating a captivating, fluid seating arrangement that invited interaction and comfort. This modular setup sparked interest in how flexible furniture could enhance an event space, effortlessly blending functionality with visual appeal.
Outdoors, on the side passageway overlooking Brisbane’s iconic Story Bridge, the setup continued the Relax & Radiate theme. Here, the Bloom Sofa in clay, framed in white, was paired with Idra Bar Stools and Pillar Bar Tables, transforming the area into an artistic cocktail setting. The mix of earthy tones and sleek, minimalistic lines created a sophisticated yet relaxed atmosphere, ideal for enjoying the vibrant evening views and socialising over cocktails.
The overall design was a masterful blend of bold colours and natural textures, celebrating the art of relaxation and vibrant energy, perfectly aligned with the event’s purpose of celebrating new beginnings and culinary excellence.
Dinesh Murugiah, General Manager at Howard Smith Wharves, shared his appreciation, saying, “Thank you again for partnering with us for our menu launch and transforming the Rivershed into something amazing. Lots of our clients who attended were wowed by the look and feel your team created in the room. We really appreciate all the assistance.”
