WORD MAP MURAL
CLIENT: PAXTON INTERNATIONAL, SPRINGFIELD, VA
Shown: Conference Room Wall, Paxton International
Paxton International is a family owned company that has been relocating families around the world for more than a century—they have knowledge and experience few companies can match. Yet Paxton is on the move, expanding into new territory and embracing the latest in technology and development, making sure they are always one step ahead.
The mural in their conference room (pictured above) depicts a world map made solely of words. Using chunky block letters to assimilate the size and shape of each country, it has graphic power, humor, and real visual appeal, while also providing a geography reference point for clients and staff. The radiant colors brighten the space, giving the Paxton International conference room a cosmopolitan, modern vibe to match their global jet set image .
KITCHEN LANGUAGE MURAL
CLIENT: PAXTON INTERNATIONAL, SPRINGFIELD, VA
Shown: Kitchen Wall, Paxton International
Paxton International employs people from all over the world. While their size is moderate, their staff is extremely diverse and truly international. The mural above directly reflects this aspect of Paxton.
The kitchen wall shown above depicts a wall of words relating to cooking and dining in a diverse number of dialects. Using a simple, modern font and a limited color scheme allows the beauty of language to take center stage. Deciding upon the words was a communal effort, with a vast group of employees generously contributing and translating words from their native tongues. The languages depicted in the mural are plentiful, including French, Vietnamese, Russian, Arabic, Spanish, Amharic, Portuguese, Latvian, Nepalese, Dutch, and more.
