In celebration of Earth Day 2019, The London EDITION partnered with The Earth Issue on a week of programming and activations. The series began on 15th April with the unveiling of a site-specific installation by celebrated Indian artist Svabhu Kohli and continued with a series of panel discussions, workshops and wellness events all focused around the theme of environment and sustainability.
Kohli’s installation around the glass cube entrance to the hotel’s Lobby Bar was on display for one week, leading up to Earth Day on the 22ndApril. Kohli’s stylized illustrations of flora and fauna offered a dreamy glimpse into the artist's love of nature and imaginative approach to art. Wrapped around the glass cube entrance, the artwork uses an alternative to vinyl made from Polypropylene film, as it is the lowest environmentally impacting material. It is PVC free, can be recycled, and it contains only two elements of carbon and hydrogen.

While creating this installation with The Earth Issue / London Edition and Graphical Tree for production - We used a sustainable alternative to vinyl stickers known as polypropylene film - a material that is both PVC free and can be fully recycled. a deliberate stance against single-use plastic and hope to do more for our home. As creators, we need to begin thinking of how we are developing our processes, the kind of materials we are engaging with and what impact they have on our surroundings.
