Coffee shop exterior and interior murals. Starbucks, Camden High Street, London
Starbucks commissioned a set of two murals for their Camden High Street store in London. They asked that I draw on Camden’s musical heritage, punk and counter-culture characters, mixed with a newer influx of tourists and diverse visitors.
I developed a six colour palette, shared by both murals, featuring their distinct dark green, complimentary warm coffee-influenced colours and a punchy blue to help dance the eye across the artwork.
I was inspired by the energy, liveliness, quirkiness, and irreplaceable charm of Camden, and tried to squeeze as much of this spirit onto the bricks in-between windows and on the narrow walls of the store.
The murals aim to reflect the famous diversity and richness of the neighbourhood, exuding positivity and inclusivity so that everyone can perhaps see a bit of themselves in the mural.
