Last Thursday evening, 7th December, Minoli welcomed some 250 clients, partners, suppliers and friends to celebrate Christmas and to preview the six stunning new collections of Italian porcelain tiles for launch in 2024.
The theme of this year’s activity was ‘Beyond The Surface’ which links back to the Minoli brand expression and reiterates that beyond sourcing and supplying beautiful Italian porcelain tiles, we have a ‘One Team’ approach to providing a level of service considered second to none, backed up by our proficiency in stockholding, logistics, delivery, administration, account management and the overall Minoli customer experience.
As usual, we again enjoyed exclusive use of the Home House – “House 21” at No. 21 Portman Square and from the main reception rooms to the upstairs bar area and into the Octagon Room, there were new large-format display boards featuring all the designs, colours and finishes of the 2024 launch ranges, including:
- Marvel Meraviglia – Encapsulating the exquisite elegance of iconic marble, with a new finessed Velvet finish.
- Marvel Onyx – A creative and contemporary collection that reinterprets the timeless charm of opulent Onyx.
- Boost Balance – With the micro-fine finish of perfectly poured and polished concrete and a super-soft surface.
- Boost Mineral – Featuring the natural nuances and mottled markings of fine-grained organic stoneware.
- Elysian Travertini – Bringing visual variety and versatility and technically advanced textures to designs.
- Jolie – Reproducing the precise purity and chromatic clarity of the most precious marble.
We were also thrilled to welcome both regular and new entertainment for the evening including the carol singers from St George’s Church, Hanover Square, cabaret duo Verity & Violet who helped get the event into full seasonal swing and the high-energy four-piece band The Anthemics, who filled the floor with a range of rousing rock and pop covers. Plus, we had a special appearance from Libby T with her set of soulful R&B vocals.
The team from Home House excelled as always in providing a flawless hospitality experience for our guests, with delicious canapes including Smoke Salmon & Keta Caviar, Ceps & Aged Parmesan Croquettes and Braised Beef Featherblade Bourguignon, amongst other treats. One of the refreshments on offer was Home House’s own brand gin, specially distilled in partnership with award winning luxury Gin distillery Oro, based in Lockerbie, Scotland, to create a unique spirit that captures the extraordinary heritage and epicurean essence of the Club.
Guests also enjoyed a selection of wines and prosecco from the Santomè vineyards and left with delicious classic Italian Panettone by Pasticceria Fraccaro, all supplied by our friends at Italian Continental Stores. In addition, attendees took away copies of the new 2024 Preview Brochure featuring images and detailed specifications of all the new products.
The evening was a great success, providing the assembled house builders, developers, architects, interior designers, retailers and automotive clients with a festive insight to Minoli’s exciting new porcelain products for the year ahead.
