Art works

When chartered surveyors Eddisons approached us to create office interior concepts for its client – a well-known global online media company – we knew it would be a great project, but a challenging one, and how right we were!

The concepts for the offices in Paris, Cairo and the company’s European headquarters in Switzerland included wall/glass manifestations, interior signage, wayfinding solutions and large format 3D art installations for the headquarters.

We opted for a different theme in each office that reflected its location. So, the Cairo office graphics featured famous Egyptian landmarks, whilst we explored a tongue-in-cheek take on influential French people from different walks of life including fashion, culture, literature and science for the Paris office.

We pulled out all the stops to create a number of modern 3D art installations for the Switzerland office that reflected the different areas in which the business operates, including finance, news, film and lifestyle. We used contrasting themes to create each installation, such as building a large dove with toy soldiers to represent peace and conflict for the news division.

News: peace and conflict

Lifestyle: glamour and comfort

Movies: good and evil

However, who knew sourcing around 1000 toy soldiers, miniature teddy bears and children’s flipflops would be so difficult? Oh well, we do like a challenge…
