David Jones has unveiled a grand event space located on the seventh floor of its flagship Elizabeth Street store in Sydney: On Seven at David Jones.

Scene Change has been appointed as the preferred technical contractor.

After a major refurbishment, the heritage space has been transformed to its former glory featuring high decorative ceilings, original parquetry and marble flooring and travertine staircase.

The space also features dramatic floor to ceiling windows, with New York-style views over the magnificent gardens of Sydney’s Hyde Park.

On Seven at David Jones has held occasions such as a state banquet for Queen Elizabeth II’s visit to Australia in 1954 and Christian Dior’s first couture show in Australia in the 1960s.

Since launching On Seven at David Jones, the venue has hosted a number of exclusive events such as the W12 National Media Fashion Launch, beauty workshops for Lancôme, La Prairie, Dior and Chanel. More recently On Seven at David Jones hosted the spectacular annual Gold Dinner for 300 people.

“We chose Scene Change because they offer a very personal, boutique service from a team we know and trust,” said David Jones’ Amanda Longmuir. “They fit right in with the David Jones approach to service.”
