The Cite 86 launch party was held last night at the new Rice Village location of PH Design Shop, a purveyor of gifts, stationary, and custom invitations. (The firm also does the graphic design for Cite.) It was a perfect evening, cool outside and in. PH mixed a summery cocktail and served up mini-cupcakes from Crave. The shop is a soothing place painted a deep purple. Hundreds of identical envelopes hung from the ceiling shivered ever so slightly.
Venerable scholars, emerging designers, and fidgety writers fit comfortably between the display tables. Fires raged and the economy tittered, but last night was relaxed and lovely.
