AMP CAPITAL SHOPPING CENTRES
FABRIC DESIGN & PROPPING
METRO PATCHWORK, 2021
MARRICKVILE METRO, SYDNEY
I was asked to design a fabric design for furniture that would be used in the new Smidmore Street upgrade of the Marrickville Metro shopping centre.
The brief was to create a pattern that was fun, colourful and took inspiration from the Marrickville community.
I came up with Metro Patchwork. A mosaic grid design that was made up of a series of 15 tiles that represented the community. The tiles represent individuality, self expression, community, inclusion and energy. The fabric was produced in two colour ways.
I was then asked to use the Metro Patchwork design as inspiration for the painting of 5 timber plinths that were to be installed in the centre as multiple purpose propping and seating. The boxes are all hand painted.
