Royal Academy Ceilings

Antony Gormley for Royal Academy, London

In 2019, we worked closely with Antony Gormley and the Royal Academy on the manufacture and installation of two suspended ceilings designed by the artist.  Our team developed the design for a  modular system in CAD to facilitate efficient on-site installation of the aluminium and acrylic structures.  In this ambitious exhibition, the backlit ceilings created a neutral, ethereal backdrop for two of Gormley's most iconic installations, Clearing VII and Lost Horizon I.
