Design Work Life: Cataloging Inspiration Daily

The Silver Star is a unique story about a iconic rail­way car’s jour­ney from the American mid­west to the remote Pilbara region of West Australia.

Glasfurd & Walker designed a bound pub­li­ca­tion doc­u­ment­ing the his­tory of the Silver Star rail­way car as part the renowned Zephyr line in the 40’s and 50’s in America before being brought over to Australia in the later 60’s, and finally it’s near miss with decom­mis­sion­ing before being trans­ported to the Pilbara Region in West Australia.

The Silver Star’s final incar­na­tion is as a com­pletely refit café sit­u­ated in the heart of Port Hedland.

Along with design­ing the invi­ta­tion for the grand open­ing of the new Silver Star, Glasfurd & Walker also designed the iden­tity and sta­tionery for the café itself.
