In a celebration of renewal and artistic transformation, Monaco’s iconic establishments have been draped in installations of delicate origami birds and butterflies.
The seasonal display, dubbed "Glow Up Summer," sees the façades of the Principality's historic venues decorated with lightweight paper-inspired sculptures.
According to Monte-Carlo SBM, the poetic motifs are designed to bring a sense of lightness and contemporary wonder to the heart of Monaco, offering guests an immersive, seasonal celebration that bridges classic elegance with modern visual art.
