Genesis Open VIP Lounge 2017

 

IQMatics Moderne Living were honored to supply the furnishings for the Genesis Sky Box at the 2017 Los Angeles Open Golf Tournament.  Held at The Riviera Country Club in Los Angeles since 1973, the Los Angeles Open has witnessed Jack Nicklaus’ professional debut, and Tiger Woods’ first PGA TOUR tournament; twenty-five of its champions are included in the World Golf Hall of Fame.  The tournament also acts as a substantial fundraiser for the Tiger Woods Foundation’s college-access programs in Southern California.

 

 

 

The Los Angeles Open is sponsored by Genesis, the global luxury car brand specializing in ‘human-centered’ luxury and bringing the highest standards of performance, design and innovation to its vehicles. (For more information, visit GenesisOpen.com)  

 

The Genesis VIP Sky Box is a fully-furnished, temporary climate controlled lounge.

 

 

 

Designed and built for the event by Event Marketing firm Czarnowiski, the Sky Box served as a private club, restaurant, and tournament viewing area. It was available only to a select group of tournament attendees.  Located at the back of the Skybox, a full service bar area added to the club-like atmosphere. VIP visitors were also treated to gourmet dining at the catered serving island in the center of the space.  The Sky Box also took full advantage of its location to provide spectacular views of the golf course and tournament.

 

 

Visitors to an exclusive venue such as this expect to be immersed in high level interior design and beautifully appointed furnishings, and the Genesis Sky Box did not disappoint. The event producers turned to Moderne Living’s Senior Designer Yijan Chen, who furnished the space with Tritos Sofas and Chairs in black leather. 

 

The modern, cubist silhouette of the furniture pieces is softened by the hint of an elbow curve incised into the outer arm: 

 

 

 

 

Yijan and the staff here at Moderne Living found themselves working under an extremely  tight deadline for the installation of the Sky Box furnishings. To bypass standard shipping  times, Moderne Living arranged for air shipping of all furniture from Europe to California. We handled all of the logistics, from communication with our European counterparts to unpacking and installation at the tournament site.   Our highly trained design staff has extensive experience in global shipping, delivery logistics, and scheduling.

 

“I was in need of some high end furniture for an event that my client was hosting. Fortunately, I stumbled upon Yijan from Moderne Living. Yijan was extremely helpful throughout the entire process. The client was definitely satisfied with our work. I highly recommend Yijan and Moderne Living to anyone that has specific furniture needs.” --  

 

 

 

The solid, tightly-cushioned seat and back speak to a minimalist aesthetic. The barely-there steel legs add lightness to the boxy forms, and contribute to the open feeling of the space.

 

 

 

The Tritos furniture collection’s minimalist aesthetic with a black-and-neutral color scheme added to the exclusive, club-like atmosphere of the space. In the back seating area, golf-themed photography added graphic punch to the black walls. A banquette-style arrangement provided intimate seating for drinks and dining:

 

 

 

In the front area of the pavilion, more Tritos sofas and chairs were arranged facing the action; they provided plenty of space for the crowd to circulate, and maximize the views for the VIP guests:

 

 

The Tritos Sofa and Chair were created by furniture designer and architect Piotr Kuchciński. He’s the recipient of several international design awards, including two Red Dot Design Awards, Designer of the Year from the Institute of Industrial Design in Poland in 2012, and Creator of the Year from DesignAlive Magazine, 2016. 

 

 

The Moderne Living design team, headed by Yijan Chen, played a critical role in bringing this project together, working closely with the Genesis team to expedite both the design phase and shipping and installation. The result was a synthesis of minimalist design and expansive natural views that exceeded the expectations of the most discerning guests.
