Zaiwalla and Co

Zaiwalla & Co founded in 1982 and one of the first law firms to enter the international legal market in China, for this reason the company had a strong tie with China and wanted the artwork to reflect the oriental heritage as well as the European heritage in their artwork for the main reception.  The colour red was chosen to reflect the company colours.

Art Contact commissioned two digital montage artworks for the main reception and meeting rooms at Zaiwalla and Co London based offices. The artist created two cityscape depicting iconic sites from Europe and Asia to reflect the client’s associations with these countries. The concept enhances the corporate identity of Zaiwalla, by representing the global reach of the business.

‘Trees’
The brief was to produce substantial artworks that would have considerable impact on the space at the same time as creating a tranquil atmosphere.
Images of trees were chosen to help create the calm and the use of non-reflective acrylic panels giving the impact that the space required.

Gardiner & Theobald LLP

Having met Kevin Arnold from G&T to view the new site for site specific artworks, our rational behind the new commission was to take into account the work that Gardiner & Theobald specialise in, so in a loose way, we chose works which reflected their business in construction and consultancy.

Two artists were commissioned to fulfil the brief, firstly Brazillian ceramic artist Valeria Nascimento who created a wall sculpture ‘Ordered Chance’ which was constructed from ceramic cubes to represent Gardiner & Theobald’s position both in the locality and also in the construction industry. Secondly, a wall panel was commissioned from the light artist Chris Wood.
