For Halloween at the newly refurbished Strand Hotel, TYBB delivered a richly layered environment that balanced baroque opulence with macabre theatricality.

Working under the creative direction of Christian Wagstaff and produced by BEa, the space was transformed through sweeping red drapery, decaying florals, skeletal details and pools of melted candlelight. Each moment was carefully composed to heighten atmosphere while maintaining a cohesive visual narrative throughout the venue.

Material contrasts - gloss against decay, richness against shadow - created a heightened sense of drama that pulled guests deeper into the experience as the night unfolded.

A hauntingly elegant takeover that blurred the line between dark fantasy and high-gloss event design.

As seen in Harper’s Bazaar!
