Phantom Syntopia

Overview

Introducing the Phantom Syntopia, Designed and crafted in collaboration with haute couture designer Iris van Herpen, this One-of-One Bespoke commissioning honours the seamless symbiosis of nature, art, and science — brought to life through sculptural movement. Our opportunity was to craft a beautiful story-led experience across web and social about this uniquely special creation.

The elegant arrangement of glass organza petals encapsulates the hypnotic motion of water. It appears as though it is rising and falling against the translucent iridescence of silver metallic fabric.

Bespoke Craftsmanship

Van Herpens’ artisry was used to recreate the rhythm of waves as a custom starlight headliner as well as inspiration for the Phantoms signature gallery.
