The evening also served as an occasion to launch Flexform MOOD, a new collection in the Fanuli showroom, showcasing a range of designer furniture meant to redefine contemporary living. The arrival of MOOD at Fanuli is the first time the collection has been available outside of Milan, Italy.

Guests were treated to a night of Italian inspired culinary delights, reflecting on 40 years of peak Italian & Australian design. All 3 generations of the Fanuli family were present for the event; a testament to the importance of family, relationships and the strong bonds formed over the history of the business.
