Nature’s Velvet

We’re bringing the outdoors inside once again by transforming our East Side studio into a lush forest experience!

Picture the floor blanketed in plush velvet moss, with wild thickets in varying shades of green, creating a serene atmosphere that transports you to the heart of a tranquil forest.

From floor to wall, artificial forest plants will adorn every corner, immersing you completely in nature’s embrace. The vibrant green hues of the moss will harmonize with the soft, plush touch of velvet fabric that drapes as a backdrop and doubles as curtains, allowing for a variety of angles and scenes.

For seating, a deep green velvet sofa will be the focal point, perfectly complementing the colour scheme and surrounded by verdant greenery.
