Spirited Design

At the tail end of Salon Art + Design and the start of the holiday season, Family Style Livings Editor Beverly Nguyen welcomed a close-knit crew of design aficionados to her home-away-from-home: Beverly's New York. The eponymous, in-the-know home goods boutique played venue for Family Style's final Heart of Hosting evening with CHANDON, and was transformed after hours into a dream dinner party, replete with bar service and a bevy of delights. Guests Louis Rambert, Akari Endo-Gaut, Alex Tieghi-Walker, Umberto Bellardi Ricci, Tijana Masic, and Judi Wong enjoyed a selection of comfort Vietnamese dishes from Nam Son curated by Nguyen while sipping on refreshing CHANDON Garden Spritzes garnished with a cinnamon stick, and a dried orange slice. By the time dessert came—fluffy taro whipped cake—there was not a bubble left in sight.
