Basketball Court by Coco Lom in London

I was commissioned by Pink Lady Apples to transform a public basketball court in Islington, London. My design was inspired by apples and movement. I started my research by investigating microscopic views of apples - from an apple leaf, to dried-out apple pollen. I discovered that the most beautiful shapes and patterns were revealed, which I then used as inspiration for the design. I also wanted to echo the movement and shifts of energy that basketball players have mid-flow during a game. When we’re children, our world is full of colour, but sadly as we get older, we often lose this playful and colourful side to life. Colour has the power to affect our mind, body and happiness and can trigger different moods and emotions. I hope the court will brought joy to people of all ages in the community.
