The Chelsea Bird

Last week we showed you the design for the Mikelson window, and I mentioned that we developed one of his most well known images as the signature logo for The Mikelson building.

He created many sculptures exploring this mythical bird "the only one of its kind, said to live 500 or 600 years, to burn itself on a funeral pile and rise again from the ashes. Fresh and beautiful. For another long life" Much like the mythical Phoenix, I think.
