Description
DeepL TranslateTamesis is a collection of 4 wallpapers designed by MA Interior and Spatial Design (MAISD) students in response to the River Thames. The project, Thinking Patterns was delivered in collaboration with Keith & Mark of Mini Moderns, academics Colin Priest and Zoë Tynan-Campbell and not just a shop.
Students were asked to respond to the nature of the built environment through the stories associated with the River Thames, drawing inspiration from a 5-mile riverside walk. Driving a visual conversation around water ecologies and environmental urgencies, students responded with dramatic patterns and high impact visualisations with commercial relevancy.
Students submitted both an original design and a single line that represents the River Thames. The outcome, seen here, is a collection of three wallpapers plus a collective infinite river pattern, a unique design that has no pattern repeat, made by combining the 65 student single lines and creating endless pattern possibilities.
The chosen student designs include:
The Great Stink by Ronald Anthony, that gestures the layers of narrative below the water surface
Everything Grows by Xu Shi, depicting an array of life in, under and around the water’s edge
History Has Many Traces by Junlin Zhang, representing the foreshore, mudlarking and traces of the river’s history.
The wallpapers are proudly made in the UK and printed by John Mark in Preston, Lancashire.
