On May 16, Surface co-hosted a cocktail party with Spring Studios to toast Kouros Maghsoudi’s latest addition to his repertoire of hedonistic furniture. An unmistakable highlight of the weeklong NYCxDesign festivities that unfold across New York City each year, the one-night-only celebration reprised last year’s rooftop cocktail and saw more than 500 design-savvy notables come out to celebrate the up-and-coming designer’s entire body of work and the newly unveiled Hug Bed. A sensual reimagining of Maghsoudi’s smaller-scale Hug Tray that draws inspiration from gauche downtown decadence, the bed boasts a voluptuous, low-slung form made with a high-gloss fiberglass frame and sleek floating aluminum sheet.
What better place to recreate that energy than the burgundy sunken living room at Spring Place? Throughout the evening, guests caroused to beats by Meilgaarden and Sterling Juan Diaz that played on Bang & Olufsen speakers while sipping Lallier Champagne and indulging in the night. Notables in attendance included Noam Dvir, Darren Jett, Mark Malecki, Roham Shamekh, Lauren S. Thompson, Vince Patti, Brandi Howe, Celeste Greenberg, Joseph Algieri, and more.
