Your Pocket Guide to the New Sydney Fish Market
Scales of Making at the new Sydney Fish Market.
Over 3,000 discarded oyster shell lids from the former market have been reimagined into bespoke wall finishes using a custom, natural lime-based plaster developed by Bishop Master Finishes, incorporating finely ground oyster shell aggregate. By varying the aggregate’s coarseness, the render achieves a range of textures, with shell lids pressed into the wet plaster and removed once set, before hand-polishing.
Working with Will and Sam from Defy Design, experts in transforming plastic waste into recycled products, BVN helped turn 750 kg of speckled blue material into sheets used to craft 52 Re-ply stools and a reception desk at the new Sydney Fish Market.
Look out for these recycled blue stools when visiting!
