The SiD 2012 VIP After-Party was a chance for exhibitors, guests and contributors to celebrate the completion of another successful Saturday in Design
August 24th, 2012
The gorgeous space at TwoTonMax in North Melbourne provided the setting for the first ever SiD Awards presentation, and also the place for party goers to let some steam off at the end of the night and have a dance!
As always we are grateful to our numerous event partners who helped to pull the night together, in particular our friends at 360Style, who provided all creative event production and management, plus styled the space incorporating a grand Missoni ’pink’ carpet entrance provided by BOLON, and stunning lights adorning the space by Christopher Boots.
The amazing team at Ed Dixon catering fed the masses, while refreshments were supplied courtesy of San Miguel and Prominence Wines, as well as the creative team at Westwinds Gin mixing up some much needed G&T’s for guests. Sparkling water was on tap from the team at Zip, and Smeg kept the beers cool with a FAB fridge!
Our friends at Aesop and Kikki K also supplied us with some treats for door prizes and stunning artworks were provided courtesy of Geoffrey Carran and Rowena Martinich.
