MTG (Museum, Theatre, Gallery) in Hawkes Bay, commissioned furniture for their new foyer space and cinema foyer.

 

For the main entrance they required a reception area and shop furnishings that could disappear when the room was used for events. A transformable concept. 

​

A desk and two large wall cabinets were installed in the space. The pink cabinets open to reveal shop display or reception storage/signage. When closed they become neutral sculptural objects. The reception desk has a pared back tablecloth design to imply a connection to the applied arts focus of MTG's collection. The marbled Corian tablecloth has been scalloped and perforated to suggest stitch work.

​

Mobile shop units on wheels were designed to be combined in a variety of ways to create different display islands, then are pushed away when the space needs to be cleared for events.

​

The cinema foyer required new service desks for the space. The design pulled inspiration from the existing architecture and striking moderne design.
