Among those making their way along the red carpet were some of the top donors and supporters of Lotus House/Sundari Foundation, including Martin Margulies, foundation board member and owner of the famed Warehouse Gallery in Miami, housing one of the largest contemporary art collections of its kind. Margulies provided a painted-bronze sculpture by Manuel Neri and a mixed-medium piece of art by John Torreano, which were on display at the event, where guests enjoyed cocktails and signature dishes from Swine Southern Table & Bar, Seasons 52 and R House restaurants, Fleur De Lis Vodka and Cherry Tart Pinot Noir. In keeping with the opening of Roche Bobois’ first American showroom in 1974 along New York’s Madison Avenue, the glittering evening was underscored by the sights and sounds of a “1970s disco,” replete with DJ, mirror balls 70s-clad go-go girls and disco dancers on roller skates. The evening was enhanced by live, piano stylings on a Sterling Silver Edition baby grand provided by Steinway & Sons. Bigan noted, “Throughout the year, we are celebrating our U.S. debut at our showrooms across the country. But this particular event is especially meaningful because it also celebrates our continued affiliation with Venus Williams’ V*Starr Interiors and Lotus House Shelter.” Roche Bobois Paris, founded in 1961, has over 250 showrooms in 45 countries, 24 of which are in major cities in the United States. Roche Bobois will be adding to their South Florida showrooms in Coral Gables and North Palm Beach with a new location in Aventura scheduled to open this winter.
