Eda Akaltun - "I had the pleasure of working with Krug Champagne recently for their one night event in Hong Kong titled Room With a View.

The illustration was then printed on a vinyl sized disk and placed in a sleeve with holes cut into it so the invitee could rotate to see different parts of the image underneath."
