Although Dallasites deeply appreciate Italian food and design, we have yet to adopt a similar deep-rooted pleasure in idleness. So, despite social calendars bursting at the seams, design enthusiasts flocked to Natuzzi Italia Dallas for "an evening of Italian soul" at the brand's showroom in the heart of Knox/Henderson. Natuzzi Italia's pursuit of beauty is read- ily apparent in its sleek furniture designs, which blend smooth lines with casual mod- ern design. In attendance were Pasquale Junior Natuzzi, the brand's handsome chief brand officer, as well as Billy Fong, PaperCity's Dallas and Fort Worth editor in chief. While enjoying Southern Italy-inspired bites from The Finch Grill & Raw Bar, guests admired the sleek furniture designed and built in Natuzzi Italia's hometown of Puglia, where time-honored craftsman- ship is unparalleled. As the brand enters its next 60 years, it's developing an even more direct relationship with customers by building showrooms across the globe. This event's success underscored that Dallas was the perfect choice for Natuzzi Italia's first Texas store. But the evening's Italian influence didn't end there: Boardwalk Auto Group was also on hand, offering guests a preview of the equally sleek new Ferrari and Lamborghini. The sweet life, indeed.
