The opening of a new hospital is always a good reason for celebration, which is why we were so excited when Mediclinic contacted us to arrange the launch party for their new hospital in Midstream.
A glass panelled structure was erected to complement the contemporary design of the building. Our crystal chandeliers, crystal phoenix chairs and glass underplates repeated the glass sides of the structure. White bunches of tulips, small white daisy balls and candles in crystal holders on a rectangular mirror decorated the tables. Light blue wineglasses and silver overcloths added some solidity to the decor, creating a perfect balance.
