Chandon — set in the house's cream and black
Chandon — set in the house's cream and black

For Women's History Month 2022, Chandon — the sparkling-wine house whose senior winemaking team is all women — and Amber Mayfield's To Be Hosted gathered fifteen women from media, entertainment, and the creative industries for a dinner at Chinese Tuxedo in New York. I designed the print suite: the invitation, the menu, the conversation cards, and a name card waiting at every seat.

Chandon's brand team was exacting — what could be used, and exactly how. The craft here was precision inside someone else's system: cream and black, one confident typeface, and circular forms echoing the glass.

The conversation cards were Amber's idea, given form in Chandon's system: five courses, each paired with a Chandon pour, and two questions that asked every guest to celebrate herself out loud.

At Chinese Tuxedo, the suite met the table — menus at each setting, snapdragons in bud vases, and the night's pairings lining the banquette.

A small suite with strict rules — working precisely inside a house's brand system is its own kind of craft.
