Project: Rococo Revival Holiday Icon Set

 

This set, titled "Opulent Holidays," is a collection of premium icons merging the festive spirit of the holidays with the lavish, ornamental aesthetic of the Rococo era.

The core concept is to translate the intricate scrollwork, filigree, and architectural flourish of 18th-century French design into a modern, highly usable vector icon format. The result is a set that exudes luxury, nostalgia, and grand festive elegance.
