Client: Bex Simon/The Mercers Company
Location: Covent Garden, London
Chris was chosen by acclaimed ArtSmith Bex Simon to fabricate and install a set of gates Bex had been commissioned to design for Old Brewer’s Yard in Covent Garden.
It was important to Bex that the gates stand alone as an independent piece of art, whilst also portraying a link back to the site’s history and the commissioners; her final design beautifully represented the simplified stages of brewing with stylised barley forms at the base, moving to oak barrels in the centre and finishing with the effervescence of the finished product at the top.
