An Ode to Monet
A birthday painted in flowers
A birthday painted in flowers.
An Ode to Monet translated the feeling of a painted garden into a 20th birthday at Hyatt New Delhi. The reference was not a literal reproduction, but the way colour appears to move when seen from a distance.
Blush, lavender and sage blurred across flowers and painterly surfaces. Varying height, density and texture kept the palette alive, while quieter table details gave the eye places to rest.
The room felt youthful without becoming playful, and artistic without turning the celebration into an exhibition.
Colour can feel like movement.
- Lavender
- Painterly
- Floral
- Young romance
A contemporary floral interpretation of garden light, built through tonal shifts, texture and soft-edged composition.
The 20th birthday was held at Hyatt New Delhi in a wood-panelled event room. Rather than hide the panelling, the design layered painterly colour against its warm tone.
- 01
Water lilies, at full scale
A painted backdrop after Monet’s water lilies set the reference, with flowers, candles and a green urn gathered in front of it like the edge of a pond.
- 02
A garden trellis for a bar
A bright green lattice bar with arched, lit shelves became the centrepiece of the room.
- 03
Colour spread, not repeated
Lavender runners, cane-back chairs and sofas with floral cushions carried the palette through the room without repeating one arrangement.
- An entrance arch lined with flower-topped plinths and green urns
- Gold chargers among lilies, roses and hydrangeas
- Painted floral prints behind the lounges
- Pillar candles along long wooden tables
