JUST IN TIME for its 10-year anniversary, European furniture hotspot BeDESIGN unveiled its massive new space, a multi-floor, 22,000-square-foot showroom — the largest of its kind in Texas.

Co-owners and life partners Adrian Duenas and Marcelo Saenz welcomed more than 200 clients, friends and industry pros to the West Alabama store, which carries B&B Italia, Ligne Roset, Fendi Casa and dozens of other sought-after European lines. Guests enjoyed touring the three-story space, and lined up to congratulate the couple while sipping French rosé and enjoying bites from MAD and Musaafer (truffle-and-cumin macarons?! Say no more).

On the first floor, Divisi Strings serenaded partygoers as they arrived; upstairs, Lady Lauranza turned the volume up with lively renditions such as "I Wanna Dance with Somebody." The indoor-outdoor rooftop lounge beckoned everyone to the third floor, and the picture-perfect skyline views did not disappoint.
