A WALLSTORY FOR VPRO
A birds eye view - 40 metres of fine dining and stories.
This narrative wall was created for a newly built restaurant used by public broadcaster VPRO. The design is based on a film storyboard and depicts fictional scenes - set in an imaginary restaurant - which are linked to TV and drama productions. We concentrated on producing a design to suit the space rather than dominating it. The chosen perspective (top view) produces an almost abstract pattern when seen from a distance. Closer consideration reveals realistic scenes with unexpected details. The bird’s eye view is an essential part of this idea as it forces the observer to interpret the image in a different way.
This wall is 40 metres long
