Inyathelo event, The Green House
The Inyathelo event was held at the Day Light Studio in New
Church Street, Cape Town. This is my favourite space; it is light, open,
peaceful and white, white & white!
This space is so incredible with an view over
Cape Town and an amazing portrait in the background, Table Mountain. This space
does not need a lot to make it incredible, which makes it perfect for a daytime
event. I decided on “The Green House” theme for this event to compliment the
peaceful space.
I used glassware in all shapes and sizes on these
incredible white tables. Placing leaves and plants in them and exposing their roots. Perspex
clear Ghost Chair as main seating, because it almost feels like there is no chairs in the space and because they are just so beautiful.
I played with height, by sourcing tables at
different heights, to give the space a more informal atmosphere. We had Banquet
tables, bar tables and low, almost coffee tables. Mixing ghost chairs,
Yorkshire chairs, dumpling chairs and white Ottomans.
My favourite thing for 2012/2013 is the String Gardens, they
are just amazing!!! So these string gardens where my final touch to the space
to make it feel like a green house. You can buy them from Opus in Cape Town.
I also had the company logo painted on the stage just to
bring in that personal touch and a splash of colour.
