Fine joinery, cabinetry and metal structure for permanent and touring exhibitions. Recreated heritage interiors, immersive interactive builds - we fabricate and install in timber, plywood, paint finish, acrylic and metal, a trusted hand to the NGV, ACMI, Museums Victoria and the WA Museum. The work continues, now with the national resources of Theatre Safe Australia behind it.
We supplied fabrication and installation across four permanent galleries at the WA Museum, and fine joinery, plinth work and acrylic for the ACMI Permanent Gallery Renewal.
For Little Lon at Melbourne Museum we recreated two 1860s houses, down to hard-plastered walls, creaking floorboards, rusting iron and bluestone paving. Cabinetry, sculpture, metalwork and carpentry - whatever the exhibition needs made.
