Ornate Murals by Nespoon Cloak Blank Facades in Traditional Lace Patterns

Every inch of Nespoon’s elaborately designed murals is rooted in local history. Prior to sketching one of her large-scale lace patterns on a residential building or commercial facade, the Warsaw-based artist (previously) visits museums and meets with residents to learn more about the region’s culture and its ties to fiber arts. “I respect and commemorate the emotional bound between individual patterns and particular cities or even particular groups of lacemakers. If there is no tradition of lace making in the area where I work, I ask for laces in the homes of elderly people living nearby,” she tells Colossal. “I always find something.”

The resulting murals envelop concrete and brick structures in intricate webbing embellished with oversized florals or fringed edges. Often splaying across multiple levels and wrapping around corners, the massive works showcase the intricacies of the craft and bring the adornment traditionally associated with domestic life out into a public space.

best commercial facade design

A facade is a term used to describe the front part of a building’s exterior and is one of the most important parts of any building, be it from a structural or aesthetic standpoint. A well-engineered façade ensures the safety and security of the entire building and its occupants while providing character to the structure to create a lasting impression. Traditionally, facades were built with stone or brick masonry since the focus was more on structural integrity. However, the requirements of modern commercial facade design have transformed as well.
