Bottle Wall Coca-Cola UK head office, Uxbridge, by Acrylicize


Acrylicize has designed and developed art elements for a three-storey wall at Coca-Cola’’s new UK and European HQ, including a bespoke intelligent-light installation of 5,000 LED-illuminated recycled Coke bottles.

With a screen on each floor, each can run independently or form one giant screen, displaying more than 100 bespoke themed visuals.

Acrylicize worked alongside MoreySmith, which was responsible for the building's interior design, incorporating the wall and lighting sections as a key feature.

London-based art and design studio Acrylicize used a Colour Tramp matrix controller and 10,240 channels and 32 DMX universes for the installation

'We wanted to create a unique art-driven lighting installation that would celebrate the iconic bottle shape, and also tie the three floors together,' says Acrylicize creative director James Burke. 'The aim was to design something that was dynamic, changeable, ever-evolving and engaging.'

The light sources are more than 4,000 Philips RGB SMD 5050 LEDs, positioned on an 80mm centre grid, 37 nodes across and 36 deep.

Each bottle acts as an individually addressed pixel within the matrix, controlled by a Colour Tramp custom 30U matrix controller for 2D/3D arrays.
