A housing development at Tabard square in London required four gates and three vent surrounds. These were massive sculptural pieces that needed a bespoke solution so that they could be installed with the minimum of disruption. Each work of art was made in sections so that it could be bolted together on site. We used stainless steel snap off security nuts so that they can not be taken apart. All the gaps were considered specifically so that the sculptures are safe in the public realm. Also the work had to be made so that it was difficult to climb.
We were asked to fabricate this light installation and indeed advise on its design. The lights were sat in slots in rolled tubing and the ends were seated under steel domes. It all had to be assembled on site by Kumquat Lab therefore it was made in multiple parts. The bases were extremely heavy so that the arches could not be pushed over.
