Bourdon Street Chippy, an installation by Lucy Sparrow, recreates a fish and chip shop entirely using felt at the Lyndsey Ingram Gallery in London. Open until September 14, 2025, the project invites interaction and aims to create an immersive environment that resembles a working chippy. Every detail, from the seating to the food items, is crafted with precision, showcasing over 65,000 handmade felt pieces. The layout allows for clear circulation paths and orderly sightlines, enhancing the experience of this interactive space.
At the heart of the Bourdon Street Chippy installation is artist Lucy Sparrow's command of material translation. Over 65,000 hand-crafted felt pieces articulate every surface, container, and consumable object within the chippy.
The spatial layout reflects the hierarchical clarity of a traditional takeaway. Circulation paths are defined by counters, queues, and bench seating, while sightlines are organized around key objects.
