Arcade Food Hall's newest location is in the heart of the restored Battersea Power Station, an iconic Grade II listed building built in the 1930s.
Artiq worked closely with Red Deer Architects to curate a collection for Arcade Battersea, ensuring that the artwork complements the mid-century design tones and pays homage to the industrial history and aesthetic of the power station while also offering bright, dynamic compositions inspired by the Pop era.
