Task: Create a wallpaper design for the Musse Hall for the reconstruction project of the historical Wagner Theatre.
Client: Zaiga Gaile Architects Office.
Process:
As Musse hall interior has rhomb shape decorations in the ceilings, it was decided to use the same motif also in the wallpaper.

When the main motif was found, I played with the rhomb shape and searched which kind of elements I want to include inside it.
In the final option we decided to use dark wallpaper with gold accents as it symbolises wealth, celebrations and respectable position is society which is associated with Musse organised events.
Wallpaper contains Musse society symbols and the characteristic elements of 19th century wallpapers.
