Sandpaper Studio Helps Glendale Town Center Celebrate Grand Reopening
July 25, 2008 | Torrey Dawley
Since 1959, Glendale Mall has been home to Wynkin, Blynkin and Nod, brass penguin characters based on a popular poem originally titled "Dutch Lullaby," written by Eugene Field in 1889.
To commemorate Glendale Town Center's expansive makeover and grand reopening, Indianapolis design company, Sandpaper Studio was commissioned to create a new environment for the penguin area.
Featuring a snow canopy over the penguin statues, iceberg blocks and a mix of playful and historic images from Glendale's past, the space creates an environment that celebrates the Center's historical community presence and its purpose in the future.
"Designers can make a social difference with local projects," states Torrey Dawley, owner of Sandpaper Studio," and we are really excited to be creating a new home for the penguins where they serve as symbols of community for another generation."
The grand reopening will unveil the public space on July 26 and will focus on celebrating the families of the community by featuring events for all ages throughout the center, including the newly-designed penguin area.
