The evening began in the homely venue that embodied the vibrant personality of our hosts; Eliza and Liberty. We have thoroughly enjoyed watching them evolve from amateur aspirations to experienced renovators! Beacon Trade would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to them for providing us with a canvas that perfectly complements the Interior Design artistry of our attendees, and we wish them all the best for the upcoming auction. 

The night would not have been the same without the loyal Interior Designers who are part of  Beacon Trade, it was great to see so many creative minds under one roof and we want to express our deepest gratitude to all who attended. We know some of you came from a long way away, so thank you for dedicating your time.

The heart and soul of the event lay in the riveting panel discussion where our product designers, lighting designers and creative director all shared their areas of expertise. Their vision for the future of lighting design lit up the room, and the willingness to share their experiences was inspiring. The amount of insight and advice being shared to our Beacon Trade members cannot be understated and truly helped showcase the passion Beacon shares for interior design.

Working with Eliza and Liberty was so great, being completely new to anything building-related made it such a great collaboration from the start. They both were so easy going and we instantly clicked, which made my weekly visits so easy and I look forward to coming on-site. Week in and week out we were able to get to the nitty gritty of their lighting plan and get exactly what was needed each week. Eliza and Liberty were great at articulating the broader feel of their room and the materials they were using and I'd match them with the right ideas, whether that was double downlights for pushing more light out or looking at the right coloured brass for the pendants to making sure that any last minute details weren't excluded.

By the end of the show, they had a solid understanding of how lighting worked to enhance the space but also had the opportunity to really get excited about our lighting choices. It was such a great and amazing opportunity to be able to catch up with them at our annual Block x Beacon Trade Night at the very house that brought us together to catch up, laugh and enjoy talking about the home that we essentially built together. 

Our mission is not just to provide a platform for industry discussion, but also to foster a sense of community, we’re all one in helping the industry grow, and to helping our customers design their own beautiful spaces to live in.  We thank every attendee for their active participation, we hope you made a new friend or two!

This event is the first of many more to come in our commitment to creating a unique and exclusive experience for our valued Beacon Trade members. We extend our sincerest thanks to all who presented, attended, and contributed.

Your presence and participation made it a night to remember, one that showcased the brilliance of the design community. As hosts we are deeply grateful for your support and for sharing in our vision. We look forward to continuing this evening annually, and hosting other events in the future and to continue supporting and nurturing the world of design, together.
