The opening of the Bombay Sapphire Design Discovery Award transformed the Gin Garden of Establishment Sydney last on November 11.

Leading creative event management company, James Gordon Workshop, worked closely with Bombay Sapphire to integrate the design exhibition within a bar setting.

Senior producer, Jane Dillon, designed and curated the exhibition to maximise the vast ceiling space with pieces delicately suspended or mounted to the exposed brick walls, creating a striking installation, a challenging task considering the nature of the space.

Oversized ‘botanical vines’ applied to the front façade, appeared to grow and wrap around the building, creating a highly graphic entrance to engage with passing foot traffic. This treatment continued through the main bar, leading guests to the exhibition.
