Het hele jaar feest!

Macarons, tea, cake and... garlands! In 2023, the Zuiderzee Museum celebrated its 75th anniversary. We had the honor of designing custom-made garlands.

Concept
Invited by the Museum, we designed a garland where you can put together your own favorite day, like your birthday or International Cat Day for example. Each month has a unique laser-cut shape with figures inspired by local celebrations typical of the Zuiderzee region – fitting that particular month. Accompanying the garland is a booklet explaining all the celebrations. The project “The whole year party!” puts the wealth of festivities celebrated throughout the year in the former Zuiderzee region on a stage. This idea ties in nicely with celebrating the Museum’s 75th anniversary.

What did we create?
In addition to the garlands, we created a festive campaign image in collaboration with Medea Huisman. For the set, we used crockery from a thrift store with an orange gradient. It matches the color palette of the garland perfectly. The glossy lilac tablecloth from the market adds a vibrant touch to the presentation.

Sparkles
The final steps of the project became a celebration. Together with the team and family members, we carefully wrapped the garlands in beautiful packaging for the museum store. Their support made the final steps of this project not only possible, but also incredibly fun. A real party!
