MOTAT Game Changing exhibition

Auckland

The brief was to design and style room sets representing the 1970s, 80s, 90s and 2000s to showcase how computer gaming consoles have changed.

Interior designer Catherine Huckerby, from Homebase, was commissioned by the Museum of Transport and Technology (MOTAT) for the Game Changing Exhibition Experience. The brief was to design and style room sets representing the 1970s, 80s, 90s and 2000s as a backdrop to showcase how computer gaming consoles have changed throughout the years.

1980s

This look was inspired by the Punk style typical of the fashion and interior design of that era. We used a vivid colour scheme of clashing fluorescents with a graffiti slogan taken from 1980’s slang. The furnishings were an eclectic mix of contemporary styles to complement the design – including bright red furniture with strong blue accessories to complement the backdrop of acid colours and create a fun and vibrant concept.
