Unilever commissioned young British artist Conrad Shawcross to create a permanent work for their landmark head office in Victoria Embankment, London. Made of sustainable oak, ply and steel, ‘Space Trumpet’ is a large, computer-operated sculpture suspended high above the ground in the dramatic new atrium.
We were commissioned by Unilever to design the invitation and printed material for the VIP launch event.
Our concept was to emphasise the creativity and engineering behind the installation by using an early concept sketch. The invitation utilised a combination of thin, semi-transparent bible paper and a sequence of folds that gradually reveals the drawing on the reverse of the paper as the invitation is opened.
