Forming the centre piece for Phorm Interior's design for the Port Office Hotel refurbishment, these intricate screens were designed with a "Gentleman's Polo Club" theme.The final concept hinted at Polo shirt logos, with Polo mallets, alligators, laurel wreaths and many other visual puns forming the elemental basis for the design. Seahorses were used instead of land horses, as a reference to the nautical nature of the Port Office.

Some more arcane "Gentlemen's Club" images were also added, including compasses and "point within a circle" of the Freemasons, and a few champagne glasses for good measure.

A geometric pattern of Persian origin was used for the trim and body of the screens, integrating a simple weave which revealed a five-pointed star in the negative spaces. This star was repeated at focal points in the overall composition, unifying the whole piece.

The screens were cut with laser-fine jets of high pressure water and coated with a bronze finish. Many  smaller screens, using a variation of the Star and Weave pattern, were produced for use throughout the Port Office. See more images in the 57 Portfolio
