This is a selection of some of our recent projects.
Art
Panels
Through
our client Meeting Deadlines Ltd, we supplied and set up our
Artshow Panels, (now available in white) for an exhibition
of black and white photographic portraits. It was a
Department for International Development event on the eve
of World Aids Day at Somerset House in central London.

Shell Tower
Shell International called us to supply and install a hanging
system in their War Memorial Hall. Previously they had opted
for the Locator system in other areas of the building and it
was decided that Locator had the right minimalist qualities,
being both discreet and flexible. They now have an excellent
space for displaying artworks and when they're not exhibiting,
the Locator rail is almost invisible. |

Dundalk
Town Hall
The Basement Gallery is part of the recent refurbishment to
Dundalk Town Hall. But being old and underground, (originally
the townıs prison), the walls are rock hard and very uneven,
not ideal for presenting art. We were asked to install our unique
Avanti floor to ceiling system, with suspended stainless steel
cable, originally designed for window displays, to overcome
the problem of a continuous brick protrusion at eye level and
the general 'lumpiness' of the wall. The result was another
successful overseas installation having provided the complete
and affordable solution to the clientıs unusual problem. |

Queen
Mary 2
We were very pleased to be asked to fit out the art gallery
on Cunard's new Queen Mary 2 cruise ship. The requirement was
for something strong, easy to use and in keeping with the classic
décor of the ship. With the ship being so tall, and the
gallery subject to a lot of sideways movement, the hangers would
need to be secure top and bottom. The Boyer Brass system (BOB)
was chosen. We then designed a modification of the security
kit to keep the hanger against the rail at the bottom. Combined
with Boyer security hooks (HS) and D-rings the pictures could
be hung flat against the hangers, which in turn are held back
against the wall, thus preventing damage or theft.
QE2
Due to the success of the unique system designed by us, based
on the classic Boyer, that was installed on the Queen Mary 2,
the QE2 has now been fitted with the same, this time in a silver
finish. |

British Airways
Our Avanti ceiling mounted system was specified by the architects
in the new British Airways Iceberg arrivals and departure lounges
at Heathrow's Terminal 1. A 25mm recess was built in to the
ceiling edge to hide the rail (AVRW) and the top fix hangers
(TN15W and TS15W). All that was visible was the crystal clear
nylon, or the stainless steel cable, appearing as if by magic
from the shadow of the recess and disappearing behind the picture
on to which was attached one of a selection of suitable hooks. |

STEAM
The Museum of The Great Western Railway, STEAM, in Swindon,
had a large area in which they wanted to hold art exhibitions.
They also needed to be able to clear the space completely for
other uses. Our Artshow Panels fitted the bill perfectly. With
a built in Avanti top rail, pictures can be hung either side
simultaneously without damaging the face, and when arranging
them there is an almost infinite number of configurations possible
for the layout of the panels. |

Cyfarthfa Castle
We are now onto our third installation at Cyfarthfa Castle in
South Wales. They have chosen the Boyer Brass range that suits
the 19th Century mansion very well. It will also save them having
to bang holes through their expensive wallpaper! |

Horsham District Council
The Avanti system was specified for displaying art in the new
Arts Centre in Horsham, a sympathetic yet very modern conversion
of a beautiful old theatre. They wanted something special so
we designed an inverted cantilever hanger to suspend tightly
the stainless steel cable from regular cantilever hangers in
the top rail to a rail fitted on the wall just above the skirting.
By using HP hooks, they were able to add and remove pictures
easily each time, the basic security offered by an HP meant
the public couldn't! |
