Following a tender process, Art in Offices were selected by Aldi to provide bright, fresh and exciting art for their new building, launched in 2020. Aldi are committed to creating the best working environment they can for their staff, and the art they own at each site is vitally important to the company ethos.

Balancing vibrancy and approachability

It was clear that they wanted and needed bright and colourful artworks, which were contemporary but not too Avant Garde. So we submitted a proposal of art prints and photographs by contemporary artists for the less important areas, and a lot of original works on paper, limited edition prints and monoprints by our own family of artists for the important areas, key waiting areas and high-traffic corridors and meeting rooms.

Shared principles in art and business

Art in Offices’ own brand values matched those of Aldi very well. We both feel art is very important to office life. We both believe in getting staff involved in creative opportunities. We both believe that great art doesn't have to be expensive. We both value locally sourced talent, and supporting local suppliers - artists in our case, farmers in Aldi's case. This project was exactly what we like doing, and we are so pleased that our client is very happy with the results.
