St James Theatre, Wellington
Forbo’s Marmoleum collection has been used to create a stunning new patterned floor at the St James Theatre in Wellington. The project was undertaken by Shand Shelton, who has been involved in the restrengthening of the theatre since 2016, with the construction phase beginning in 2019. However, the scope for a new, replacement Marmoleum patterned floor was not introduced until October 2021, just 10 months before the theatres re-opening and at the height of material supply challenges caused by Covid-19.
