Beverly Hills, California – THG USA, the exclusive importer of luxury bath products from the house of Tetard, Haudiquez and Grisoni (THG), made a notable appearance at last night’s Golden Globe Awards ceremony. The elegant Papillon, from the THG Cristal de Lalique Collection, was the lavatory set of choice in the world-class Presenters Lounge. Designed by internationally renowned interior designer Kenneth Bordewick, the Presenters Lounge was visited by many of Hollywood’s favorite celebrities and award-presenters, including Halle Berry, Sophia Loren, Nicole Kidman and Harrison Ford. The celebrities were pampered with culinary-treats and a fully-stocked bar in the glamorous accommodations before making their way to present the world famous Golden Globe statuette. THG’s Papillon was a natural fit for the striking environment of the Presenters Lounge. An exquisite piece, the Papillon set features intricately detailed butterflies designed by Lalique, the world-renowned crystal art and jewelry design house. The beautiful set flawlessly complemented the other fine furnishings in the luxurious lounge, which included $800,000 worth of stunning vintage Lalique crystal pieces shipped from France, exquisite hand-embroidered drapes, and art-masterpieces worth more than $1,000,000 from the Frederick R. Weisman foundation, as stated by interior designer Kenneth Bordewick. “I wanted the Presenters Lounge to combine the glamorous luxury of Hollywood’s Golden Age with the glitter of today’s top stars,” said Bordewick.
