At Atriani, we believe that exceptional design transforms experiences, and this philosophy was at the heart of our collaboration with the SickKids Fired Up Gala. We were honored to contribute our expertise in luxury furniture and spatial design by crafting an exclusive VIP Lounge at the Ritz-Carlton Toronto on February 21, 2025.

Designing an Elevated Experience

The VIP Lounge, designed and furnished by Atriani, provided a refined retreat for distinguished guests, sponsors, and donors. Inspired by the event’s dark and greenery-infused theme, we curated a space that embodied sophistication, comfort, and exclusivity—offering attendees a moment of relaxation amidst the high-energy gala atmosphere.

Every detail of the lounge was meticulously curated, from the plush velvet seating in deep charcoal and forest green hues to the lush greenery strategically placed to create a sense of organic luxury. Custom-designed furniture, sculptural coffee tables, and rich textural contrasts set the perfect ambiance for intimate conversations and networking, ensuring an unforgettable experience for those in attendance.

Beyond aesthetics, the VIP Lounge was designed to foster meaningful connections. Whether guests were unwinding with a handcrafted cocktail, engaging in discussions about the impact of SickKids, or simply taking in the stunning surroundings, the lounge served as a space where philanthropy and luxury seamlessly merged. The dramatic black drapery and emerald accents provided a striking backdrop, elevating the exclusivity of the space while maintaining a warm, inviting feel.

While our focus was on designing an exceptional space, the true highlight of the evening was the impact made through generous donations and fundraising efforts. The SickKids Fired Up Gala raised substantial funds to advance pediatric healthcare, reinforcing the importance of community and collective action.
