1. Minimalist Wall Mount:
- Hang the gong on a simple, clean wall mount that doesn’t overpower its presence.
- Position it at eye level or slightly higher for an elegant display.
2. Surrounding With Natural Elements:
- Place the gong in a room with rich textures like wood, stone, or foliage to contrast with its polished or aged finish. For example, you could place the gong in a minimalist room with raw wood paneling or a concrete wall. Adding foraged pieces around it will bring a natural feel.
3. Lighting as a Focal Point:
- Use soft, focused lighting to highlight the gong’s curves and texture. A well-placed spotlight or wall-mounted sconces can cast intriguing shadows, emphasising its size and form.
- A hanging pendant light such as the Mendong light, just above it can create an atmospheric look, especially in dimmer, intimate spaces like a study or lounge area.
4. Pairing With Art or Sculptures:
- Combine the gong with other complementary art forms. A modern abstract painting or a series of smaller metal sculptures on the same wall can frame the gong, creating a gallery-like feel.
- For an artistic touch, you could also hang a textile like a woven wall hanging behind it to add layers of texture and colour contrast.
