Sketch Unveils 'Home of the Braves' Installation Featuring Mylands FTT Colours

As part of 'Dreamscapes', sketch's 2024 Art & Design exhibition, Mylands' Film, Television and Theatre (FTT) Collection has been chosen to decorate 'Home of the Braves', an installation across the façade, reception and iconic pod bathroom by prominent artist and fashion designer Jean-Charles de Castelbajac. 'Home of the Braves' celebrates the pioneering courage and unapologetically fearless spirit of the Suffragettes.

sketch, at No.9 Conduit Street, has long-standing ties to the Suffragettes, being the site of a public address calling for the enfranchisement of women by Dame Fawcett in 1869. Castelbajac has dedicated the exhibition to his close friend Vivienne Westwood, who embodied the soul of the Suffragettes throughout her life.

With interplaying colours, Castelbajac's designs are powerful and striking, using an array of vibrant tones to stand out and be bold. As well as an homage to the fearless Suffragettes, they are an ode to his close friend Vivienne Westwood, who embodied that spirit too. Renowned for his multidisciplinary work across art, fashion and design, characterised by a limited palette of blue, yellow and red, Castelbajac has selected eight confident, powerful Mylands shades to bring his vision to life.

For over a century Mylands has held an unrivalled association with the film, television and theatre industry, its paints featuring in some of the world's greatest productions including Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, Star Wars and James Bond. The FTT Collection is a palette of twenty vibrant colours made originally for the sector, and with the fast drying times and outstanding coverage for which Mylands is renowned, it includes some of Mylands' most successful shades, such as the bestselling gold metallic FTT-001™ Rich Gold and FTT-18™ Ultramarine Blue.

For this installation, commanding Mylands shades of red, blue and yellow, FTT-11™ CSO Green, FTT-18™ Ultramarine Blue, FTT-08™ Mid Chrome, FTT-09™ Bright Red, FTT-10™ Vermillion, FTT-19™ Ultra Violet, Pink House Pink and Enamel Blue™ No.78, are used across multi-coloured slogan flags and playful walls covered in vibrant shields, coats of arms and imaginary weapons, immersing visitors in the combative, heroic spirit of the Suffragettes.
