After a long day, when the pace begins to slow and the city lights grow softer, the time comes to pause for a while: a few appetisers, a good cocktail and the pleasure of good company. It is the relaxed and convivial atmosphere of happy hour. Leaving the office, we begin to imagine a tray of fresh, sparkling and enticing cocktails, as vibrant as the shades of the metallic jacquards by FCN Textiles / Bennett Silks. Upon arriving at the venue, the wool blends by Bower Roebuck / Savile Clifford echo the tones of a blackboard hanging on an exposed brick wall, welcoming us with the menu. Crossing the threshold, the setting comes alive with reflections and shimmering highlights: the sequins and glitter by Emil Jersey Fabric and Knitwear Division seem to transform into the bartender’s tools, among sparkling shakers, neatly arranged bottles and glasses ready to be filled. Soon the orders arrive and, seen from above, their shapes and transparency evoke the precious crystal stones created by Gi.Ma.. As appetites begin to grow, the table fills with small bites: the crisp cubes of fried polenta seem to inspire the patterns by Deveaux, while the dialogue between white and gold in Tessitura Carlo Valli takes shape in the elegant arrangement of white wine glasses reflecting the ambient light. A cinnamon-spiced cocktail is set down on the table, spreading a sense of warmth and intimacy echoed in the enveloping tones of the natural fibres by Infinity – Codice – JJ Moon. Meanwhile, the fabrics by Joker’s absorb the vibrant colours of a corner of the venue, where decorative details blend harmoniously with the interior design. Not far away, a chequered table holds glasses and floral arrangements, creating a refined interplay of geometries and contrasts that resonates in the viscose fabrics by Lisa – Top Project – Atelier Elle. And just when the evening seems to be drawing to a close, the trimmings by Sama transform into the elegant outline of one final mint cocktail, with bright green tones for a toast that prolongs the pleasure of happy hour, leaving in the air the memory of a shared moment.
