Liz Hickson Academy
Objective
As part of the renovation of Liz Hickson Academy at Crown Paints HQ in Darwen, Lancashire, this project set out to create a bold and functional breakout space that embodies the brand’s values — with sustainability, creativity, and identity at the forefront.
Approach
A custom-designed bar was fabricated by Solidlux using Polygood® in the vibrant Potpourri pattern. The installation combines materials and light: Green LED Light Sheet 2.0 by Applelec Lighting brings energy and contrast, while the painted base in Crown’s signature Neroli shade grounds the design in the brand’s visual language.
Impact
Over 500 kg of plastic waste was diverted from landfill through the use of Polygood® in this project. The remaining offcuts were collected for recycling through CDUK’s Vita Nova scheme, reinforcing that sustainability here extends beyond intention and is embedded in practice.
