Empress Gold, Secret Garden and Splendour were in full glory alongside artistic floral displays in the carefully curated showroom that spans nearly one city block. Frank Cintamani, CEO of Guo Pei and Avenue Road’s founder and curator, Stephan Weishaupt, were among the 200 attendees who gathered to honour China’s Queen of Couture and her debut into the world of interiors.
