PROBLEM SOLVED/NEED: Last minute, easy to install table decorations were needed to make an event memorable and spark conversation and photos on social media. Great if they can be transported easily to an out of town event or an overseas wedding. Being recyclable or reusable would be an added benefit.

FINISHED SIZE: Unfolded size 420mm X 30mm X 300mm high

DESCRIPTION: Client receives each paper skyscraper folded in a cellophane sleeve and stacked together in a box. They unfold easily and are clipped or tied to stay open forming the shape of a New York Art Deco skyscraper. A battery-operated light is placed inside once unfolded on the table.

These stylish decorations are perfect to bring to overseas weddings or special events as they fold flat easily, can be tucked safely into a suitcase and pop-up for that instant wow-factor — just add lighting...

BENEFITS: They give a dramatic way to quiet down a chattering crowd before an MC introduces an event. Imagine a crowded gala dinner. The overhead lights are dimmed, dramatically revealing the illuminated table centrepieces. The conversation pauses, leaving the MC with everyone’s full attention. Photos of the table decorations can be used in follow up communications.

RELATED PRODUCTS: An arrow sign for directing guests, a banner as a backdrop to a head table or media wall and a seating arrangement listing with matching graphics are also available.

TARGET MARKET: Event managers, event organisers, venue managers

PRODUCTION/HOW: Coloured papers are scored and cut to shape on a cutting table, then hand-folded, positioned and glued to hold their shape.

RELATED PRODUCTS: Digital invitations and follow up communications.

NOTE: These were the result of an experiment with creating multiple curved forms in paper.

WHAT’S GREAT ABOUT THIS FORMAT?: The centrepieces can be photographed ahead and used as a distinctive image on digital communications before and after the event. Also ideal where guests do not want to be photographed, yet images are wanted to remind people about the event.
