Howard Smith Wharves (HSW) is one of Brisbane’s best event and lifestyle precincts and its safe to say, we are a little bit obsessed! With sweeping views of the Brisbane River and the City Skyline and nestled amongst the iconic cliffs and Story Bridge – HSW really is, the hottest venue in Brisbane right now.
HSW boats several indoor and outdoor event spaces which can cater for intimate events of 5 people right up to an 800 pax cocktail event. Whether your event is a high-flying corporate event, conference, wedding or simply a casual social occasion, HSW will have the perfect space for your event. They even have a Boutique Art Series Hotel – The Fantauzzo, onsite, so your guests don’t even have to leave the precinct after the event concludes. Not to mention the plethora of world class restaurants and bars on offer as well…#winning!
Did we mention that we are also the exclusive event furniture hire supplier for HSW? Since 2018 we have been assisting clients with styling their events at HSW whether it be by providing bar tables and bar stools, a lounge pod with armchairs and coffee table or simply some umbrellas and fencing for crowd control on their open outdoor lawn. We have something for everyone.
Speaking of styling, our team recently styled a photoshoot at HSW using several of their unique event spaces. Check out the images of our furniture styling – we know we are biased, but we think they turned out pretty good!
In this space we really wanted to showcase furniture that would suit the current relaxed, modern, Plantation look and feel of the space. We predominantly used our new Harvey range mixed with Scandi bar tables as well as our hairpin bar tables and dining tables to compliment the Harvey stools and chairs. The Hairpin dining table was styled using our premium Riedel glassware, black gloss cutlery, milk dinnerware, grey linen napkins and our new brass single stem vases.

For this room we decided to go for something light, fun, colourful and relaxed – and what better way to showcase that theme than a baby shower? For the lounge setting we used our new Villa lounge and armchair, the Lucia feature chair as well as our fun fringe ottomans to add a pop of colour. The Bar was created using our panel bar with custom aqua inserts and circular bar arbour which was draped in beautiful soft florals and greenery. For the table, we used our Sorrento white dining table, alternating blue and pink pastel Bentwood chairs, Cut Crystal glassware, Gold feature cutlery, soft pink linen napkins and our Milk crockery.

Howards Hall is a blank canvas and due to its size, its perfect for larger format corporate events or weddings. In this space we decided to go a little bit luxe and showcase our Optical, Madison and Kenzo ranges. These three ranges mix perfectly together and are an ideal choice if you are after a high-end, chic look. For the bar tables we used a mix of our round and rectangle marble Optical tables with a combination of black and gold legs. These tables were then paired with our new Madison velvet barstools and swivel stools – how fun are these btw!??
For the lounge area we used our Kenzo lounges in red and black velvet styled with a black Dalton coffee table, the Dune rug and a few luxe cushions to complete the look.
