After bringing the art of Parisian hosting to the Hamptons this summer, the French silverware house celebrated its new Art Deco-inspired barware collection for fall, Club 30, in New York on Thursday. To launch the collection, Christofle gathered a group of well-coiffed attendees to take the entertaining sets for a spin.
The Locale: Providing the setting for the evening’s celebrations was the West Village haunt Dandelion, where guests gathered in the candlelight of the richly appointed green lounge. Coupes of champagne and signature cocktails (plays on the beloved espresso martini and gimlet) floated through the gilded dining room.
The Occasion: Who does cocktail hour better than a hospitality empire? The celebration for Club 30 introduced Christofle’s barware essentials with a multi-piece set (fit with a wine cooler, serving tray, champagne cooler, and ice bucket). The pieces were on display for a limited time across the bar and walls—allowing guests to get up close to the luxury wares.
The Crowd: Packed with New York insiders, the guest list included fashion and design editors Dan Rubinstein, Annie Goldsmith, Ryan Waddoups; creative director Gabriele Baldotto; fashion tastemakers Mary Leest and Eric Jess; model Nicolas Joesten; publisher Jason Binn; and stylist Ty Hunter.
Parting Gift: For those seeking the Christofle charm even after an at-home fête concludes, the Maison presented partygoers with a coffee-table book dedicated to the brand, offering an ongoing source of inspiration.
