Relish is an immersive hospitality experience that reimagines the conference lounge as an intimate supper club—an inviting destination where exceptional design, thoughtful conversation, and crafted cocktails come together with intention. Rich wood detailing, sumptuous velvet upholstery, and layers of tactile materials create a warm, enveloping atmosphere that evokes the timeless elegance of a bygone era while offering a welcome respite from the pace of the show floor. Whether settling in for a panel discussion, an impromptu networking meeting, or a quiet moment of reflection, guests are encouraged to linger, reconnect, and savor each experience. Designed as a celebration of craftsmanship and human connection, Relish transforms a simple pause into a memorable ritual, reminding visitors that the most enduring moments are those that are shared, discovered, and truly relished.

In signature SLS style, Avenue Interior Design boldly reimagines the opulence of an old-world Manhattan penthouse through a decidedly contemporary, yet playful, lens. Classical references are recast in unexpected materials, modern forms play against ornate detailing, and moments of wit cut through the grandeur. It’s the Gilded Age for a new era, daring to embrace a more-is-more sensibility where every layer adds to the experience. The result is a vision of luxury that winks back, equal parts extravagance and mischief, setting an evocative stage for the extraordinary to unfold.

Cocktails and talks, birds and beats.
The 19th century mistakenly scripted ravens unkind, believing them to abandon their young. We now know the opposite to be true: ravens form highly cooperative flocks, sharing in the care of their young. The Unkindness of Ravens is Preen’s homage to our own wildly colorful and supportive flock of hospitality mavens.
Colored birds belie the dark still life of a living room made for congregation. From apothecary bar to speaker haven, art and curiosities invite a deeper look, creating space for discovery, conversation and collaboration. Dark, curious and a little wild, it is a Preen space at heart: one designed around the belief that hospitality is an act of nurture, and that the most interesting things happen when we gather.
To preen is to condition feathers for flight.
