TikTok Awards Event

#FORYOUPARTY

Dubai Studio City

Location: Dubai, UAE

TikTok hosted their 2022 year-end party celebrating regional creators.

Merging the real and virtual worlds at the “#ForYouParty” event, TikTok saw guests undertake an immersive journey through the platform’s most popular trends and communities. We created an experience where guests were the viral ASMR cracking clay ball with a color hidden inside that determined their route through the interactive displays and activations, which was followed by awards and entertainment; the TikTok awards event was a success.

Hogarth: London Voices, London Lives

Pizhanger Manor & Gallery

Location: Ealing, London

The paintings are a starting point for an exhibition that focusses on daily life and the social and political landscape in London. 286 years after Hogarth’s moral tale, social and cultural changes present a different set of circumstances and social conditions for people navigating life in contemporary London with growing issues of poverty and inequality alongside changes in social spaces including the clearing and cleansing of public space to the competition to be heard online.

Building on the theatricality of Hogarth’s staging of the Rake’s encounters in the city, visitors will move through and around a series of rooms or platforms, public and private spaces, both physical and psychological, - from the erosion of public spaces to the mass media and online culture where exchanges are anonymous.

St. Florian

Location: Frauenau, Germany

The origins of the Koller family can be traced back to a farm on the “Kollerbergerl” in Frauenau.

In 1950, directly after the war years, the Koller family took a very brave decision: they relocated to Althüttenstraße and set up a guesthouse combined with a farm. The first rooms for guests were then created in the 1970s.

Michaela, one of Lotte and Max Koller’s three children, took over the guesthouse. After a construction period of around one year, the Hotel St. Florian opened it doors for the first time on 24th December 1994.

At that time, the hotel had a restaurant, wellness area with an indoor pool, Finnish sauna, steam bath and 26 rooms.

The current hotel was created gradually after many extensions and renovations.

Cosi Fan Tutte

Bloomsbury Opera

Location: Bloomsbury, London

Working with Bloomsbury Opera we looked to develop a narrative that would fit the contemporary interpretation of Mozart’s Cosi Fan Tutte, in the intimate setting of Goodenough College. The interpretation of the Opera is to be set in a culinary academy, to be proposed as a school of lovers. This is to be a temporary instillation for two shows.

Looking at the relationship that coexists between love and food, there were many elements that can symbolize love in the act of cooking. Symbolizing the plate is the stage, elements that come onto it are the spices and ingredients to the dish. Utilizing polycarbonate to give an element of transparency, and juxtapose the history and ornamentation of the great hall. Projections were used as an aspect of storytelling and to change the scenography during the performance with out scene changes.

R.M. WILLIAMS

e2 Experiential Environments

Location: Melbourne

Project Brief: to enhance the perception of the R.M Williams brand and entice new customers through the retail experience.

The new design intent was to forge an authentic connection with a globally considered modern consumer while respecting the rich heritage of the R.M Williams brand. The core message of the design was ‘inspired by the past, relevant to the future’ which was evident and crucial to the design; it became the bridge between the new and old customer and was articulated as a subtle synthesis in the design.

Temperance

We reference the Nijiri-guchi, the crawl-through entrance of the Japanese tea house. Anecdotally, the low entrance meant everyone entered the room in a humble posture. Although society was built of strict hierarchies, everyone was equal in the tea house.

To the extent that our discourses are in our hands, what will we make of them?

As liberalism, social democracy, and its related ideals are challenged by the authoritarian right and left, will we go forward in a posture of humility?
