Grand Commission

Presented by Borgo | Borgo Piano

Private commission · Limited to two accepted projects per month

Some matters require a higher authority.

A vision that refuses to come together. An occasion with too many competing ideas. A creative direction that deserves more than a collection of beautiful references.

The territories may have their opinions.

Borgo considers the whole.

The Grand Commission is Gelato Piano’s most comprehensive private aesthetic-direction service, developed for a substantial personal or creative project requiring a cohesive visual identity.

Through the perspectives of the relevant territories, your project is examined from multiple aesthetic angles before a final creative direction is established.

Not every project requires a Grand Commission.

For those that do, individual details are considered in service of one greater vision.

What can you commission?

• The aesthetic direction for a milestone occasion or private celebration.

• A cohesive visual concept for a personal creative project or photoshoot.

• A considered personal aesthetic transformation involving several visual elements.

• A substantial visual concept requiring coordinated styling, color, atmosphere, and creative priorities.

What you’ll receive

Following acceptance of your project and agreement on its scope, your commission may include:

• A detailed creative brief establishing your goals, preferences, constraints, and available budget.

• Two initial aesthetic directions for consideration.

• One selected direction developed into a comprehensive digital visual dossier.

• Coordinated recommendations covering relevant elements such as styling, color, materials, atmosphere, and visual references.

• A prioritized implementation plan.

• One defined revision round within the agreed project scope.

The exact deliverables are confirmed in your individual proposal before payment.

How it works

01 · Submit a commission request. Contact Gelato Piano with a description of your project, preferred timeline, approximate budget, and the aesthetic direction you wish to explore.

02 · Preliminary examination. We’ll acknowledge your request within 24 calendar hours and may ask additional questions to determine whether the project fits the scope and capacity of The Grand Commission.

03 · Receive your commission proposal. If the project is suitable, you’ll receive a personalized proposal outlining the creative scope, deliverables, price, schedule, and revision terms.

04 · Confirm your commission. Your project is reserved only after the proposal is accepted and the required payment is completed.

05 · The territories convene. Your creative direction is developed through the relevant aesthetic perspectives of Gelato Piano’s fictional institution.

06 · Final consideration. Your completed commission is delivered according to the individually agreed schedule, with the included revision process described in your proposal.

Limited availability

The Grand Commission accepts a maximum of two projects per month, subject to availability and suitability.

Before you inquire

This service provides aesthetic and creative direction. It does not automatically include purchasing, production, manufacturing, physical styling, vendor management, reservations, or event coordination.

Projects requiring additional services may be quoted separately or declined.

Borgo and the territories are fictional editorial figures. All real creative services are performed by Gelato Piano’s identified service provider.

A Grand Commission purchases creative expertise, not influence over the magazine’s editorial judgments or fictional rulings.

When the details disagree, the vision must decide.

Service Processing & Revision Policy

Borgo Piano processes creative services Monday through Friday, excluding designated holidays.

A business day means an eligible weekday, regardless of the number of hours worked internally.

Once your completed brief has been received and confirmed, your first proposal will be delivered within two business days.

After delivery, you have until the same time on the next business day to submit one revision request within your service's original scope.

If a revision is requested on time, your final version will be delivered within one additional business day.

If no revision is requested by the stated deadline, the creative review period closes and the proposal is treated as final.

Your exact revision deadline will be included in your delivery message.
