The Ticket Hall for The Eurostar

The Ticket Hall for The Eurostar at St Pancras International embraces the age old discourse between English and French culture in favour of their shared artistic values. Art Nouveau and Victorian Gothic design principles are expressed through a narrative of craft, heralding a return to the Golden Age of travel. Christopher's design takes inspiration from: Art Nouveau, where the fluidity of sinuous lines accent the movement of stylised motifs. And Victorian Gothic, where a reaction to industrialisation utilised craft to create an enriched, symbolic experience. This project proposes a less pedestrian travel experience. Rekindling the crafted hospitality of the past, for a more considered future in the travel industry.
