We have created works of art for restaurants and hotels right across Australia and overseas. In today's world of photographing everything, a stunning mural is not just a design feature but a talking point, hashtag and tourist destination.

We go through a meticulous process of sampling and prototyping to create a durable design on every surface. We use a wide variety of materials depending on the finish required and can incorporate other ideas into the final piece including custom lighting.

Sculpted Tablets Creed Boutique The Strand Arcade

Di Emme was commissioned to craft a pair of tablets for the Creed Sydney Boutique. Our artisans used 3-D routing techniques to fashion the tablets from a safe gypsum-based compound and applied a custom patina to create a genuine stone appearance.

Great Barrier Reef Panels Cartier Brisbane

Cartier supplied Di Emme with an aerial photograph of The Whitsundays and a range of textured patinas as inspiration for an artwork for the stairwell. The final artwork is a series of panels with textured plaster finished with a pearly layer.

Gold and Polished Stucco Bougainvillea Cartier Brisbane VIP Room

Di Emme produced a unique artwork for the reimagined Cartier boutique with a combination of computer-cut stencils and hand-applied finishes. The hand-drawn artwork and several samples were sent to Paris for final sign-off.

Carved Mural Depicts Indigenous Connection to Parramatta

Di Emme worked closely with Darug artist, Leanne Tobin, to create this striking subtractive wall art at GPT Group’s 32 Smith Parramatta. Finessing Leanne’s sketches and scaling them to the whole-wall sculpted mural required a lot of interpretive work

Hand Painted Eucalypt Leaves Cartier Private Viewing Room

Di Emme created artwork and graphics of Australian flora for the focus walls in the private viewing rooms at Cartier 388 George St Sydney. Di Emme artists hand painted the final designs. Textures and colours combine to make unique artworks for these special rooms.

Watercolour Look Mural General Gordon Hotel Sydenham

AVA Architects engaged Di Emme to design a mural for the casual alfresco terrace. They wanted a trio of anonymous young faces. Di Emme drafted the faces, projected them onto the walls and sketched them in. Artist Simon Sawell was commissioned to complete the monochrome mural in a watercolour style.

Wall Printing at District 8, Cabra Vale Diggers

Wall Mural On Tile at Bay Vista Dessert Bar

When the Bay Vista dessert bar owners opened a Parramatta venue, they wanted to recreate the signature mural from the Brighton-Le-Sands cafe. The original mural was painted onto raw brick but the Parramatta mural would be painted on tile.

Di Emme undertook sampling and prototyping to ensure they had the appropriate primers, paints and topcoats to create a durable design.
