I went to the Ivy last night for a Thorn lighting event, which was ok. The products were only a little interesting, and nothing particularly out of the ordinary, and all the best ones weren't on display! The canapes and drinks were lovely though.
Probably my favourite light was the outdoor Milo R/I which could project images/logo/text.
On a more exciting note, I loved the decor of the Ivy. it really blurred the boundaries of interior and exterior through the use of a central atrium. Everything about it is very grand - the staircases (including the spiral ones), the dramatic lighting, the expensive furniture, the long and sleek looking bars, and it was almost overfurnished which helps people feel comfortable.
The first floor was divided into different zones for drinking, lounging etc with a variety of furniture, lighting and bars and dining. The open central area had awnings and fairy lights creating a semi transparent view to upper floors. The spiral staircase leads you up to the middle floor, which had large areas that are covered but look onto the central atrium. This is really cute because you can stand by the railing as if you are on a balcony looking outside.
The sunroon, which is where our function was held is cute with white cupboards for hanging your coat, and sweet lime green and white partitions. The high ceiling combined with full glass windows looking over the atrium give a nice view into the rest of the Ivy as well as the city lights/buildings above.
The above images are just from google, but I want to go back and get some photo's next time.
