Dining in Decadence at Dawnridge (Part 2)

Cocktails and dinner at Dawnridge, the Beverly Hills home of Hutton and Ruth Wilkinson celebrated Philip Gorrivan's newest collection with Duralee and Highland Court. The ornate interiors paired with Philip’s fabrics made the perfect backdrop for a magical evening.

"The evening was fantastic and Dawnridge is so very fantasy-like," said Randall Landers, Showroom Manager of Duralee Fabrics at the Pacific Design Center (PDC). "There is lots so see inside, but the gardens were fantastic and so magical as well!"

"The table cloth fabric from the new Philip Gorrivan collection looked great with all of the other colors in the Dawnridge dining room. Even the powder room was exciting to see all the details. The service staff's fab outfits and great-feathered hat was such fun! The experience was just over the top wonderful and I can't wait to be back."

Philip toasted Hutton for opening his home for the event. "There are just so many layers—the house is so very authentic," Philip said. "I've visited Dawnridge several times and every time I visit, I see something different and more amazing! That main room when you walk in with the candelabra combined with the wait staff in costume and the glamorous group of people attending was spectacular!"

Dining in Decadence at Dawnridge (Part 1 of 2)

GoDesignGo recently had the privilege of dining in arguably one of the most decadent homes in Beverly Hills: Hutton Wilkinson’s Dawnridge estate, former home of Tony Duquette.

The evening was hosted by Robin Gordon, Vice President of Marketing & Advertising at Duralee Fabrics in honor of Philip Gorrivan's newest collection with Duralee and Highland Court.

An intimate group of designers, editors and artists sipped cocktails and nibbled hors d'oeuvres while meandering through the rooms and gardens, experiencing first-hand why “more is more.” Dinner was served in the amber-colored dining room atop tablecloths made from Philip Gorrivan's newest fabrics.

"What a fun evening in that fabulous house," said Philip. "I was so flattered to be able to integrate my new fabric into the rooms and décor. I used my ikat, Maharani tablecloths in plum for the dining tables and I think it really, really worked. Hutton told me after the evening that it was one of the best dinner parties that he and Ruth had hosted at Dawnridge in years!"
