Client : Elga Water Supplies (now named Elga Labwater)

Current Status : Email in December 2023 to say these panels have been removed and now in storage at a home in Oxfordshire
We were commissioned by Elga, a company that purifies water, to make a series of panels to decorate the outside wall of their new offices and laboratories in Buckinghamshire. The panels were to incorporate their whale logo and needed to carry well when read from a distance. The whales are seen against a background of formally patterned water and the repeating panels were made with our process using flexible moulds.
The company that had the whale logo is now part of Veolia and so the whale panels are no longer relevant.
