Why does the QF int F lounge have the blurred hexagon design?

[Kangol]

In SYD/MEL and it looks like also in the SYD CL.

I came across this and it looks like Marc Newson's influence extends to something other than QF..

Is there a visual or functional reason for having that appearance on the carpet (and some glass doors)?

From memory - it's meant to make your eyes a little 'fuzzy' so you're encouraged to look up from the floor and enjoy the open space. Or something.

Its at LAX F Lounge too, from memory, I guess some-one thought there should be a consistent theme / 'branding'. If it wasn't hexagons it would be something else.

The longer I spend in the lounge, the fuzzier it gets.

I thought it was so you couldn't see how dirty the floor is!

Nice pickup. Given it's c. 2003 - he didn't stray too far from the theme 4 years later.

Or perhaps, that was what they based the F lounge on.

Interesting to see the first version of it, so to speak.

Is that the same pattern on the perspex divider between J & Y on obe of the 738's?

Not sure of the rego - maybe VYC? I think Medhead gets that one quite a bit between ADL & SYD.

True, maybe one or two exec's spent too much time in this din and decided to get creative. Either way - it's a great look.

Interesting they don't want you to look at the carpet (if that is the reason)!

Might see you in the F lounge tomorrow!

The same design (much smaller scale) is also on the on-baord seat covering.

Oh you got your upgrade! Well done. Yes I will be there earlier now due to the industrial action, send me a message in case our paths cross!

The CL has the same - combined with a brown/green decor combo that is redolent of 1970s furniture discarded from a school teachers' staff room.
