Murmuration - A series of wall installations inspired by magpies in flight.

Four site-specific, powder-coated aluminium wall installations were commissioned by Conran Partners + D&D London for the new Duke Restaurant in Istanbul. A series of four ‘Murmurations” were created, culminating in flocks of over 1000 bird-like forms ‘in flight’ migrating from the entrance lobby through areas in the restaurant to the terrace outside. Created from laser cut aluminium, each ‘bird’ was folded by hand, then powder-coated in colours inspired by British magpies. The aluminium ‘birds’ were then installed in various flight patterns to imply migration and movement through the exterior and interior dining areas.
