Experience
The archive holds two Dolphin stands from different EAGEs, and the shift between them is the interesting part. The earlier one is dark — navy and black walls under a white fascia, with fine white line graphics drawn across them like contours, and a glass-walled meeting room whose panes were hand-lettered with “Work in progress” in a loose script, which is an unusually informal move for a seismic company. The later one abandons the dark entirely: a field of tall turquoise columns, square in plan and set at varying heights, so the stand reads as a sculptural block from the aisle and opens into working space inside. White benches sit between the columns, touchscreens are set into angled white plinths labelled by service — Operational Vessels, Marine Acquisition — and the line “Delivering Powerful Solutions” runs up one face.
Written from the project photography in the archive. The folders are labelled eage2012 and eage2014. Worth deciding whether this should stay as one case study or split into two.
