Event Space Drapery
Event-space drapery is flexible architecture. The studio specifies modular traveler systems, drape panels, and acoustic walls that reconfigure the space for ceremony, reception, conference, and gala — all IFR, all integrated with the venue's lighting and AV plan.
Why this discipline
Why Event Space Drapery
Modular traveler systems let one space serve multiple programs.

Color and texture coordination with the venue's brand language is part of the specification.
