Acrylicize creates feature artwork for new Coca-Cola office
Acrylicize worked alongside interior and architectural designers Morey Smith on the design of Coca-Cola's new office in London
Acrylicize, a company that creates bespoke artwork for offices and other workplaces has created a feature wall for the new office of Coca-Cola in London.
The wall in the company's new Wimpole Street headquarters, features memorabilia from Coca-Cola's archive in the US, and is part of a design scheme by interior and architectural designers Morey Smith.
The company's new London base is a 1920s building which has been refitted throughout. It is set over four floors, covering 66,000 sq ft and has a roof terrace, café, meeting rooms, open plan office space and hot desk facilities.
The interior of the building, designed by MoreySmith, is described as 'a celebration of Coca Cola's heritage and place in popular culture'. The design unites the Edwardian Baroque-style front of the building with a more modern rear extension via a staircase which runs through the core of the building.
A custom-built, double-sided display wall, created by Acrylicize, has been installed over three floors and provides a spectacular backdrop to display the brand's long heritage, including iconic original Coca Cola memorabilia from its archives in the US.
At the heart of the building, hanging from the second floor into the reception, is a specially commissioned work by award-winning British artist/designer Stuart Haygarth. The 6.5 metre high comet shaped installation features more than 80,000 acrylic ice chunks, suspended on ultra-fine wires and illuminated by LEDs.
