Omnia

The Brief

Omnia, a diversified chemicals group with deep roots in agriculture and mining, wanted an art installation that would honour their industrial heritage while projecting a forward-looking corporate identity. Tetris, their workplace design partner, commissioned us to create a centrepiece that would anchor the reception and executive areas.

The work needed to resonate with Omnia's core business - the transformation of raw materials into products that sustain agriculture and industry - while being visually sophisticated enough for a contemporary corporate headquarters.

The Craft

The installation required precision metalwork and artistic illustration:

• Hand-cut copper and bronze disks in varying diameters
• Individual illustrations etched and patinated onto each disk surface
• Botanical and chemical motifs reflecting Omnia's heritage
• Layered mounting creating depth and dimensional shadow play
• Controlled patina finishes ranging from bright copper to deep bronze

The disks were arranged in an organic composition that flows across the wall, creating a sense of natural growth and interconnection that mirrors the company's role in nurturing agriculture and industry.
