The designer brands housed in Melbourne's GPO share the same philosopy. Each offers uncompromised inspiration, sophistication and style. Our objective was to reflect these ideals in a fresh and contemporary interpretation of Christmas. 500 acrylic shards form 2 ribbons of brilliant colour. Illuminated by the Postal Hall's glass ceiling during the day, the shards shimmer and glow with light.

The State Library of Victoria is one of Melbourne's pre-eminent cultural institutions with visitor numbers of more than 1.5 million annually. In 2003 they re-expressed their founder’s principle in the tagline ‘Information. Ideas. Inspiration. For Everyone.' Then a few years later, they embarked on the slv21 strategy, Where they declared the Library’s aspiration for the digital age to ‘put information into the hands of all Victorians when and where they want it’. The first physical representation of that strategy was to introduce a future-facing tower that will become the platform to launch digital technology that visitors could interact with. Harkess-Ord was engaged to develop a tower that will act as a focal point whilst remaining simpatico with the language of the architecture of the library and hold current and future digital technology.
