A rare opportunity to host an event within the British Museum with the chance to offer guests a private viewing of the Bayeux Tapestry. An iconic venue for an iconic exhibition.
Taking inspiration from the tapestries, we used the marble and stone of the British Museum Great Court as our canvas and from here added colour and natural materials. Inspired by the colours of the tapestry dyes, rich red linen hung from the food stations, in a long flowing length, green and yellow florals sat among the space and rich, velvet furniture created inviting seating areas.
Every detail, from the back bar whose shape mimicked that in the tapestries, through to the linen of the staff uniforms and the texture of the lamps was pulled from the tapestries. Equally we spent as much time tweaking the floorpan ensuring it worked for the large numbers and great guest flow.
A hugely rewarding event to work on with an incredible client team and fantastic suppliers.
