Confidential Client
Shaping a thoughtful workplace collection built around global perspectives and personal conversations.
The Art Office was appointed to reimagine the art collection at this company's London headquarters, with a vision to create a culturally rich, inspiring environment that reflected the company’s global reach, values, and forward-facing identity. The brief called for a curated selection of works that combined artistic excellence with narrative depth, integrating established names with emerging talent to create a layered, meaningful experience.
Art Curation by The Art Office
Working closely with the client, The Art Office developed a bespoke curatorial strategy and commissioned several key artists to produce site-specific works that spoke directly to the company’s story:
- Fujiko Rose was commissioned to create a finely detailed artwork of the newly developed building, celebrating architectural form and the company's next chapter through her intricate drawing technique.
- Gommie, known for his poetic and intuitive responses to people and place, developed a powerful poem following personal conversations with the CEO, capturing the human and philosophical essence of the company's leadership and mission.
- Kristina Williams created three large-scale map-based artworks that reflected the copmany's logistical infrastructure and core values, translating complex systems into visually striking and conceptually rich compositions.
Alongside these commissions, the curated collection also included works from both renowned and emerging contemporary artists, further enriching the space with diversity and dynamism.
