DEUCE

Slip into something warm and comfortable. Deuce applied their creative brushstroke to Melbourne knitwear label, Otto and Spike’s eco/environmentally friendly beanies, gloves and scarves. The identity references the homemade aesthetic of the burgeoning and conscientious woollen garments.

For over ten years, the bright apple red Trinity Hotel has reigned supreme on the corner of Devonshire Street and Crown Street, Surry Hills. Red no more, the hotel has had a makeover and established Eden’s Room (upstairs), a new identity and a brand new look.

Influenced by the sandstone honeycomb of the surrounding cliff face, The Sam Fiszman signage is a fine example of what you can do with cast concrete. The park is named after Sam Fiszman and will honour the important role that refugees have played in our community.

Next time you feel like reading Alice in Wonderland or the Faraway Tree, visit the Trinity Bar in Surry Hills instead. The crafty paint-splattered folk at Deuce Headquarters donned their smocks and took hold of their paintbrushes and decorated the walls of the bar. Whilst you’re slurping your martini, don’t worry you’re not hallucinating, the walls really are covered with a suggestive array of stenciled butterflies, sheep dogs, Boston Terriers, donkeys, horses, running girls and boys, snails, spiders and just about anything else that has wings.

Sydney’s biggest birthday party, to took place Sunday 18 March 2007, seeing the city decorated in bright colour from street banners to posters and 400,000 fluoro caps. The complex design features icons of Australian history from Sir John Bradfield to kangaroos and an FJ Holden.

Clean, Green and Powerful. The term “The Everyday Stadium” is both a gentle and ironic nod to the Olympic legacy and a description of the design concept, which is made up of three elements: a large central open space, an edge of walls and seats and large perimeters of shade – one built and the other through trees. This “complete project” successfully encompasses four design disciplines – landscape architecture, architecture, industrial and graphic design – to create a memorable open space.

We’ll go anywhere. Well, within reason. See us at a garbage recycling tip at dawn. All in the name of ‘art’ and pushing the boundaries, a photo shoot for a magazine saw us reinterpreting a famous Australian poem and building a wall of printed cardboard boxes.
