We were proud to collaborate once again with esteemed curator Karolina Heller, this time on a meaningful installation for the British Red Cross in London. Marking the 80th anniversary of VE Day, this commemorative display paid tribute to the extraordinary Doris Zinkeisen, volunteer, artist and humanitarian.
The vision was clear, convert an unadorned space into a vibrant tribute worthy of Doris Zinkeisen’s remarkable story. With sensitivity and creativity at the heart of the design, our challenge was to create a visually compelling installation that respected the historical significance of the occasion, while also offering modern impact.
To achieve the desired transformation, we used removable wallpaper as the primary visual medium, allowing for a bold, yet temporary solution that maintained the integrity of the space. Key panels were carefully wrapped and installed, each forming part of the narrative flow. Gold standoffs were added to provide an elegant, gallery-themed presentation, enhancing the visual structure and drawing focus to key information and imagery.
The final installation brought the story of Doris Zinkeisen to life in a space that invited reflection and celebration. The British Red Cross’ tribute resonated with visitors and stakeholders alike, offering a powerful reminder of the past and the enduring importance of humanitarian service.
This project stands as an example of how storytelling, design, and historical memory can intersect through thoughtful spatial transformation. We were honoured to play a role in bringing this powerful narrative to life.
As place makers, we blend high-quality materials, cutting-edge production automation, sustainable practices, and world-class craftsmanship to create unique installations that transform spaces into impactful places. We actively listen, question, and tackle complex technical design challenges, providing our dedicated partners with unprecedented solutions.
