What a special year 2012 has been! There was the obvious undertone of excitement through various events, namely the Jubilee celebrations, and of course the London Olympics.
On a personal note, Acrylicize moved into an exciting new Studio in the heart of Shoreditch, two new members joined the team, Paul and Emily both got engaged to their respective partners and James and his wife Anna had a gorgeous baby boy, Freddy.
It felt special to be in London this summer, and the feeling still lingers. London is a special city to be in and you don’t have to be around long to realise how much development is still happening. Shoreditch is an inspiring place to be on a creative level, but the city still sees developments popping up all over the place and not to mention the West End. It’s a fruitful place to be immersed in, and to be an integral part of.
This year our projects have seen us in Soho erecting giant ghetto blasters in reception, to sanding down reclaimed instruments from vintage shops in Brick Lane, painting in Ketchup, cutting up thousands of playing cards, collecting rail tickets, making concrete statues and testing 3D printing capabilities - all in the name of art. There’s still lots of materials to explore, and as our projects diversify and grow, so does our expertise and experience. We also happen to have a lot of fun along the way!
We’re really pleased to have worked with some amazingly talented creatives along the way. A special thanks goes to all the architects and interior designers (and of course) our Design Team for all their hard work. It’s always a team effort and thanks to everyone involved we’re now looking to 2013 as a hugely exciting year! We have some massive projects in the pipeline.
We can feel a shift happening, and something in the air is changing for the better. We’re taking more notice of interiors in the workplace, how it makes us feel and what affect that has on our wellbeing and the intrinsic link back to business and how it can help in productivity and staff fulfilment.
Our installations represent people and we always strive to transform environments through engaging art features. We’re thankful to work with architects and interior designers that share our belief and our dream for the future…
Next year will be Acrylicize's 10th Year, so there'll be even more to celebrate.
2013 is gonna be BIG
