Being Brunel

Designer: Easy Tiger Creative

We’re proud to have been part of Being Brunel, which won ‘Permanent Exhibition of the Year 2019’ at the Museum and Heritage Awards. This award-winning project demonstrates our ability to innovate and create completely bespoke display cases. Showcasing Brunel’s never-before-seen artefacts, this imaginative project required us to create a vast range of bespoke display cases including a recreation of Brunel’s lavish ‘Shakespeare Room’.

Taking the client’s precise requirements on board, such as cladding all display cases in timber without visible locks or mechanisms, this challenging project required careful planning and meticulous attention to detail. On top of that, vigilant project management allowed us to seamlessly integrate the cases within the set works to leave modern, sealed cases with the look and feel of Victorian cabinets.

Our greatest challenge; building a robust curved glass case around the Great Eastern funnel of one of Brunel’s greatest creations, the SS Great Britain. The overall result was a striking and engaging museum for all ages to enjoy.
