We were honoured to be invited to create these large verre eglomise panels for Claridge’s in Mayfair, London.
Drawing on the history of this iconic venue, we worked closely with the in-house design team to create these gilded glass panels situated either side of the stairs of the ballroom entrance.

Inspired by the imagery of the early 20th Century, the design evokes the photographs of Cecil Beaton and illustrious events held at the ballroom in decades past. The ethereal treatment of the women’s silhouettes captures a sense of movement and glamour, as though the ladies are on their way to a glittering party.
