Digital transformation, network and voice services company Colt has created the largest wall mural in the UK at its London headquarters.
The ‘Connectivity Mural’– which spans 1400 square metres – took six months and over 500 cans of spray paint to create. The artwork was commissioned to 16 local, national and international street artists overseen by agency Global Street Art.
The mural aims to reflect the company’s business values and its commitment to the local community. The kaleidoscope design is inspired by Colt’s connectivity for global businesses across Europe, Asia and North America.
The design gives a nod to both past and present, and combines both technology and creativity. A huge image of a carrier pigeon by Nomad Clan, and a classical renaissance still life piece by Busk and Oliver Switch are among the images painted on the wall.
Helen Bailey, head of corporate real estate and facilities at Colt, said:“When Colt moved into its new East London headquarters in 2016, we felt compelled to create something which both showcased Colt as an organisation and engaged with the local community.
“Given the vibrant nature of Shoreditch’s street art scene, what better way to do this than by commissioning Global Street Art to design a piece which aligned Colt’s values with the surrounding urban landscape?”
Earlier this year Mindspace also unveiled a 200 square foot mural in Shoreditch to mark the launch of its new office.
