Selected Case
A Moroccan feast.
A room full of joy.
A private birthday celebration for a prominent international producer, hosted at a private residence in Ibiza and conceived as a bespoke Moroccan feast.
Developed in close collaboration with the villa’s butler and house manager, the engagement integrated seamlessly into established estate operations, with proposals refined alongside the lifestyle manager and principal.
The full decorative direction of the residence was reimagined for the occasion.
Concept and execution were delivered within a 36 hour timeline, requiring accelerated sourcing and disciplined coordination across teams.
The guest list included internationally recognised figures from fashion, film, music, and culture.
The environment required absolute precision, heightened discretion, and full alignment with household protocol.
