Murugiah | Rangoli Mirrored Cosmos

Public sculpture
Launched 2023


GMStudio were approached by graphic artist Murugiah to design and develop the form and composition of his Rangoli Mirrored Cosmos public sculpture, which was to be installed outside the 02 Arena in Greenwich, London.

The work was informed by a single concept sketch provided by the artist (image below), which led to the development of three elements; the central ‘stigma’ and two differently sized ‘petal’ forms which could be arranged in a number of different ways.

The sculpture was launched as part of the London Design Festival 2023, and will be seen by the 1.8 million people who visit the 02 Arena each year.


Concept, colours and creative direction by Murugiah.

  • 'It was an absolute pleasure and joy to work with GMStudio who quickly turned my public art sculpture sketch into a reality!'

What we did:

  • Design and development of the forms and composition, ready for fabrication.

  • 'I hope people who visit the sculpture can use it as an opportunity to remind themselves that existence is a beautiful, fleeting thing and can be joyful, filled with colour'
