Lighting Design and installation: Michael Jankie & Paul Lim  

 

To celebrate its love of the Melbourne art and design community, which has helped to launch the label, Lenko has recruited over 20 of Melbourne's most adventurous designers, artists and collectives to transform an entire floor of the Carlton Hotel on Bourke St into an art and design wonderland.

Each Room of this historic CBD hotel will be transformed into an entirely installed art environment with an item from Lenko's current illustrated range as the inspiration. These Illustrations feature zombies, talking birds, unlucky dips, doomed romances and many other weird and wonderful things to inspire the artists to go wherever they will.

The artists have diverse talents including photography, poetry, street murals, sound design, sculpture, performance, architecture and interior design, and all have been exhibited and aknowledged for their vibrant and interesting work.
