Lido Cinema Case study
LIDO CINEMA

The Brief

Project examples
THE BAKEHOUSE PROJECT
Bakehouse Studios is a Melbourne music landmark. Providing rehearsal studios and recording facilities, 'The Bakehouse' has long been a destination for local & international acts such as Ed Sheeran, Beck, Missy Higgins, Paul Kelly, Nick Cave, Elvis Costello, Vance Joy and The Smashing Pumpkins.
A group of well renowned local visual artists including Patricia Piccinini, Emily Floyd, Julia deVille and The Hotham Street Ladies were let loose in the grungy rehearsal rooms to create a new aesthetic for the hundreds of musicians that come through each week. The rooms were pulled apart and then recreated with the artwork and theme of the visual artists involved.
Textural Fink was engaged to source carpets for the renovated studios. Selections were based on each artist's different aesthetic and colour needs. With around 400 musicians and their equipment passing through 'The Bakehouse' each week, quality requirements such as durability and soil hiding characteristics was essential.
