Description
The un missable diamond-patterned facade made of pre fabricated concrete this multi-storey brutalist building was designed by Michael Blampied & Partners and opened in 1971 to service the new Debenhams flagship department store on Oxford Street. Its unusual design consists of a tessellated façade of prefabricated concrete polygons, the bottom point of each slotting alongside one of the corners of another. The frame is open to the elements, acting like the radiator grill of a car in that it ventilates fumes from the interior. For this, I wanted to try a different style, that accentuates the sharp geometric diamond patterened facade of the building. The car park was denied listed status by the government heritage body Historic England, and probably just a matter of time before it gets bull dozed for another mall, hotel or super store of some sort. Sold Unframed.
Our Stylist Says
I love this art print because of its modern, geometric design that adds a touch of urban sophistication to any space. It works particularly well in contemporary or minimalist interiors, especially when paired with sleek furniture and monochrome colour schemes. Practical styling tips include framing it with a slim, neutral frame to keep the focus on the artwork, and placing it above a neutral sofa or console table for a striking focal point. It also pairs nicely with other industrial or abstract pieces to create a cohesive, stylish gallery wall. This print’s bold yet understated design makes it a versatile addition to both home and office spaces.
