There was a distinctly green-on-green theme to the Rolex green room of this year’s Academy Awards.
A place with a distinctly Kermit vibe, it might be suggested.
Rolex has been decorating the Oscars green room for a number of years, providing a back stage space where the stars can mix before and after they appear in the ceremony.
Rolex says the choice of so much green is more than a mere tribute to the brand’s logo colour, “It is a celebration of our natural world. It is a way for Rolex to poetically express its commitment to the preservation of our ecosystems as part of its Perpetual Planet Initiative,” the brand oozes.
The shades of green, against a more neutral backdrop, are said to have created a peaceful space; a garden where guests can truly relax.
“Drawing inspiration from the heart of the rain forest, it is adorned with woven materials. Its walls, upholstered in natural tones, form a cocoon, punctuated by ornamental objects in the shapes and colours of tropical vegetation,” Rolex describes.
“A ceiling of exotic leaves evokes a lush canopy, while a curtain of carved bamboo creates a welcoming alcove. Bespoke furniture with smooth, round contours completes the elegant picture,” the watchmaker continues.
“Together, all the elements of the decor play a role in delineating the room organically. By inviting visitors to immerse themselves in the world of a rainforest, Rolex pays tribute to the explorers and scientists taking action on the ground, day after day, to protect the planet,” the brand concludes.
