APPROACH

Role: Creative Direction • Prop Design

Commissioned by Ilze Volman for a luxury event environment, this series of sculptural paper collars was designed for hospitality staff as an extension of the event's visual identity.

Throughout an event, service staff remain in constant view. They move through every space, interact with every guest, and become part of the environment.

The collars were designed to acknowledge that presence. Developed as sculptural paper forms, they became part of the visual language of the event while remaining practical enough to be worn throughout service. Folding, layering, and careful construction created sharp silhouettes that held their form without restricting movement.

By extending the design beyond the installation itself, the collars allowed the event to feel visually connected from the room to the people moving through it.
