Kenneth Branagh's Renaissance Theatre Company did a beautifully gauze-like
Twelfth Night in 1987 at Riverside Studios in London.  I do not know who
designed, but I remember being very impressed - and that coming from
someone who played Orsino years ago in a local college production.
 
Hope it works out for you.

Dear Hope, Was that a Folger Shakespeare Library production of *12th
Night*? The shipboard one, I mean. I saw it and found it very Cole
Porterish, sort of an Elizabethan *Anything Goes*. These impudent
directors love to re-appropriate Shakespeare to their own ends. No use
trying to stop them.
