An art inspired evening
The Wallace Collection
Tasked with the challenge of using The Wallace Collection spaces in a way they've never been used before was a very fun brief. In line with the Flora Yuknovich takeover, we used her modern take on traditional pieces as inspiration to inject colour and playfulness into the spaces.

Tasked with the challenge of using The Wallace Collection spaces in a way they've never been used before was a very fun brief. In line with the Flora Yuknovich takeover, we used her modern take on traditional pieces as inspiration to inject colour and playfulness into the spaces.
Artwork was removed from the Marie Antoinette room which we replaced with a circular champagne tasting bar complete with flowers frothing over to the floor. The Drawing Room saw an incredible pop of pink in the bar with fresh, modern florals and the arrival area became the perfect point for a flower filled DJ booth. The dessert stall – a twist on the classics - was inspired by production lines as Flora’s studio was formerly an old biscuit factory. Colourful lines poured out onto the floor and guided guests to the food to try a delicious sweet treat.
