Step into Paradise
The challenge: to create an immersive paradise of landscapes sending visitors road tripping through the minds, lives and processes of designers Jenny Kee and Linda Jackson. Architectural constraints added complexity with multiple columns, varying ceiling heights and unsightly walls. The designers’ prolific artwork and sketches also needed showcasing. The solution was 500 metres of printed curtain that hid the gallery whilst carving out organic landscapes and composing scenes to provide backdrops for garments. The overall result is a spectacular visual and interpretative environment interweaving narratives of fashion, textiles and art.
