Stay on the Bright Side
LyLo ain’t no ordinary place to stay. So why should our walls be anything but brilliant? To stand out from the crowd, we tapped into our network of bright, local artists to colour your stay with cheeky nods to native flora and fauna.
Say hi to rare beauty, in our central Christchurch digs
Against all odds, the native Kākāriki have returned from the brink of extinction – not just once, but twice. A spotlight on one of the Canterbury region’s most threatened species, The Kākāriki Wall shows them thriving amongst Mahoe trees, Nikau palms and Tussock Ringlet Butterflies. Thanks to the brilliant Flox for letting them live their best lives at LyLo, forever. Plus, be on the lookout for extra pops of playfulness throughout your stay, like the Miss Lolo wallpaper bringing the Female Pod Rooms to life. You never know what’ll wind up on our walls next…
About the artists
Flox
What happens when fine art meets stencils, aerosol and an affinity for New Zealand taonga? Flox’s mural magic, that’s what. Putting her stamp on the country’s inner cityscapes since 2003, Flox has transformed countless grey walls into vibrant depictions of the natural world. How lucky are we to have her works across all New Zealand LyLo locations?
Miss Lolo
With a promise of ‘no more beige’, celebrity fashion stylist Tamzyn Adding escaped the epidemic of dull design in 2013. From her rage against beige emerged the explosion of colour we now know as Miss Lolo – fabrics and wallpapers that add a sense of aesthetic adventure to like-minded places, like LyLos throughout New Zealand.
