Mini-Skyscraper for The Butter Factory
In 2007, the Butter Factory brought Jon to Singapore for a muradoodle. In 2008, the Butter Factory launched BUTTER LOVES, their T-Shirt label. Naturally, Jon was included. So it only makes sense, then, that in 2009, when the club made its way to a venue of a grander scale, Jon would design a skyscraper. Obviously. Jon’s (first?) foray into architecture is a part of the “discopolis” in the club’s Fash room. I hope to some day get to Singapore and check this place out! Thanks to Adrian Wee for the photo and e-clubbing for the following info.
One of the most prominent features at The Butter Factory, apart from the music and entertainment, has always been the quirky artwork and visuals displayed throughout its venue.
The club at Robertson Quay was adorned with art & design contributions from prominent international pop culture artists and designers. The main room featured contributions from eBoy & Jeremyville, while the Art Bar featured character contributions from more than a hundred artists all over the world like tokidoki, Jeremyville, Gary Baseman, Devil Robots, Superdeux & Singapore’s Phunk Studio.
At One Fullerton, The Butter Factory retains this signature quirky look and feel. Bump keeps the ‘Great Indoors’ theme as seen at Robertson Quay. Only this time, The Butter Factory commissioned English pop culture artist Peskimo to design its interior which now dons the artist’s interpretations of the various sections of a house. Toys designed by Peskimo will also be displayed in Bump. The House of Peskimo is the first in a series of ‘Houses’ to be customized for Bump by a lineup of artists.
In the second room, Fash, various artists were commissioned to contribute their artwork for the “mini-city” that comes to life within that room. Themed ‘Discopolis’, each artist has been asked to give their vision of city landscape that reflects their styles. From pixel art to cartoon-ish drawings, international artists Rinzen, Jeremyville & eBoy have contributed to the walls of Fash. Artists have also been commissioned to submit 3D facades of mini-skyscrapers to spice up the Discopolis. There will be a tokidoki and Jon Burgerman skyscraper, among many others.
There will be some familiarity at One Fullerton. Our ‘friends’, the characters seen from the previous outlet at Robertson Quay, will also re-appear all over the new club with some new additions to join the party. All over The Butter Factory, you can view the character art from more than 200 artists like Motomichi Nakamura & Touma,
The artwork and design at the club is curated by The Butter Factory’s Creative Director Bobby Luo.
