President’s Dinner – an unchosen concept

One of the wonderful things about working with the Library is the trove of materials available to use as design inspiration, or reproduced in different ways.
In addition to the visual identity (featured on the invitation, menus, wine list, table numbers and place names pictured), we delivered additional brand elements for use at the event.
Illuminated paper lanterns decorated the long tables and featured imagery from the online exhibition ‘Beyond the Book’, with battery-operated tea lights placed inside to create soft lighting and highlight tiny details of the original lithographs.
Thinking outside the box = event collateral that’s not just menus and table cards.
