MOTAT Game Changing exhibition

Auckland

The brief was to design and style room sets representing the 1970s, 80s, 90s and 2000s to showcase how computer gaming consoles have changed.

Interior designer Catherine Huckerby, from Homebase, was commissioned by the Museum of Transport and Technology (MOTAT) for the Game Changing Exhibition Experience. The brief was to design and style room sets representing the 1970s, 80s, 90s and 2000s as a backdrop to showcase how computer gaming consoles have changed throughout the years.

1980s

This look was inspired by the Punk style typical of the fashion and interior design of that era. We used a vivid colour scheme of clashing fluorescents with a graffiti slogan taken from 1980’s slang. The furnishings were an eclectic mix of contemporary styles to complement the design – including bright red furniture with strong blue accessories to complement the backdrop of acid colours and create a fun and vibrant concept.

1980's design style

1990s

This room set conveys a hard-edged liner commercial looking interior scheme, using a palette of monochromatic metallic tones. Black leather and chrome furnishings with strong clean lines and grid style patterns typify the1990s style and represent the political climate at that time.

1990's design style

2000s

This room set displays a soft, subtle and more relaxed interior scheme using a colour palette of soft lavender and deep blues with an accent of silver. Contemporary accessories and lighting combined with low level, modern furniture is what defines the late 2000s.
