Velvet Living

London-based event supplier Velvet Living provides rental furniture all over the UK and Europe. The company prides itself on the sleek, modern style of its products, which are used to create VIP areas, bars or dining tables (typically at weddings, parties and product launches, though they were also put to good use on the terrace of Old Billingsgate’s Venues & Events show in 2011). Largely made up of white chairs, sofas, poufs and tables as well as various smaller accessories, the range is sufficiently ‘blank canvas’ to blend into the background yet cool enough to make a statement, depending on the setting and production. Due to its modular design, the furniture can be arranged in various formations, such as curved booths or boxed-shaped bars. Velvet Living also offers free styling and layout advice. Provide a blank space and you’ll be guided through a design process that ensures your furniture complements the event.
