Cottrell and Vermeulen and designer Morag Myerscough, worked together to create a uniquely vibrant, oversized living room, filled with Alice in Wonderland-scale objects. To create the feeling of a living room the double height space has been fitted with an oversize skirting board and decorated with what appears to be a traditional wallpaper pattern, but upon closer inspection reveals itself as a hand-drawn menagerie of animals. The living room is furnished with familiar objects; a chair, a lamp, a TV, a globe, a rug and toys that occupy the space on a supersize scale. The living room is inhabited by Eddie the Tiger and Twoo the Wise Owl:‘Twoo’ the wise owl perches on the oversized chair whilst ‘Eddie’ the gentle giant tiger lounges in front of the massive TV.
