a gallery of imagination

That literary classic that is Antoine Saint-Exupery’s Le Petit Prince came to life at Hotel Stripes Kuala Lumpur, an Autograph Collection property which expresses its boutique nature though uniqueness in design and thoughtfulness of spirit. That brand DNA came to the fore at The Snug, the property’s cosy event venue, as one of the most-translated books in the world, The Little Prince was realised as an event with a mystical ‘day’ and ‘night’ universe.

Guests embarked on their journey with Montblanc within a space recreated as a ‘Gallery of Imagination’ with a gigantic book of water-coloured illustrations and drawings. A 3D pop-up elements gallery brought visitors deeper into the Saint-Exupery universe while a handcrafts area offered paper-quilled cards decorated with characters from The Little Prince. The evening developed into a sumptuous affair of cocktails, canapes and a viewing of the Meisterstuck Le Petit Prince Collection with its array of writing instruments, fine stationery and men’s jewellery celebrating the friendly and sage fox from the novel.
