Gabby will join luxury outdoor furniture brand and sister company Summer Classics this year in celebrating the 16th Annual Garden Party. Designers and dealers from all over the country will arrive in Birmingham for the event to be held at the corporate headquarters August 8-10. This year’s theme, “Illuminate,” is a nod to Gabby’s Garden Party debut.
“Garden Party is our favorite event because it gives us a chance to show our customers how much we appreciate them,” says CEO Bew White. “And because both the Summer Classics and Gabby brands appeal to the same dealers and designers, we think it’s a great opportunity for our customers to preview both lines in one place this year.”
This kitchen designed by Park & Oak, part of the Garden Party Design Panel, uses Gabby’s popular King Bar Stools.
Our customers will be the first to preview the new Gabby introductions, which include relaxed, comfortable looks that can go into modern transitional designs. The Gabby designers are taking a look at how people are living in their homes and designing pieces to beautifully fit their lifestyles. They’re also introducing new, unique materials in classic forms.
Attendees at this year’s event will have the chance to indulge in activities around the city including a morning at the spa, shopping in some of Birmingham’s quaint shopping districts and golfing. In addition to a tour of the headquarters and different round tables, our vendors have partnered with us to host special events for our guests. Actor and Producer Michael Young will emcee the events.
