HBO's "Sharp Objects" Screening Event
Brooklyn-based experiential design agency the Gathery partnered with floral design company Ellen Robin Creative to create an installation for HBO’s Sharp Objects screening event, which took place at the Bowery Hotel in New York in June. Inspired by the mystery drama series, a Ford Crown Victoria covered in floral green wallpaper vinyl was placed outside of the venue, with a backdrop of green branded caution tape.
“I wanted nice green as a base, so I chose Camellia branches for their color, lushness, and nice leaf shape, and smilax vine for that draping quality,” said Ellen Robin, founder of Ellen Robin Creative. “After that, I wanted to bring to life the peach, dusty rose, and cream color story, so I centered on roses of many colors, from quicksand to tiffany, and some really gorgeous beige and dust pink-toned carnations.”

“The natural tones balance the peach and pinks really nicely. I used peonies for a luxe add and the color pop of the brighter frozen raspberry, then added delphiniums and eremurus for height,” added Robin. “Lastly, Virginia creeper and grapevine added texture and dimension for that overgrown, creeping garden look.”
