The One.
The one economy foundation steer headed by the formidable Monica Geingos and her tribe of amazing colleagues who give back to the youth and those in need of assistance. This year the foundation hosted its 9th Soiree and how privilege we are to have been able to assist making this event memorable and to add gravitas to the theme: SHAPE- MOULDING THE FUTURE HAND IN HAND.
The Franseman Events & Atelier was tasked to create a concept, theme and feel for the event by making the concept come alive through the visuals and the design of the event. As we believe in Immersive storytelling and design this spectacular 9th showcase truly spoke about the amazing work and the character of the one economy foundation and the work it does in Namibia.
The event was created through the concept of moulding clay, shaping it to become something useful, to delight, to bring change and to be something of utter beauty. From the arrival where we designed a sculptural “mess” to tickle the guest mind to the beautiful knotted design on the stage the concept stayed true to the concept of shaping and moulding.
The venue was set with tables and chairs covered with rich velvet in stone, chocolate, ginger and ocher which brought a luxury feel, brown and white chair covers set in flowy pockets around the table brought a design cue to the venue while the centerpieces made of woven raffia, fresh green rhino grass in a setting of golden orange pincushion proteas and protea hookerania between the use of preserved hydrangeas in rich cream made for a delicate setting and finished off with dark Chinese brown and subtle toffee dinner candles for ambience
The stage was a delight and focal of the venue and done with a beautiful robust free flow installation of flowers, pokers and terracotta pots to add to the theme of the evening.
We enjoyed performances by and speeches to the delight of the guest.
