One year ago, Pirates Exhibition at the National Maritime Museum opened its doors, and we’re still delighted to have been part of bringing its story to life through light.

A look back at a pop-culture moment we had the pleasure to illuminate in 2024.
The Taylor Swift Songbook Trail invited visitors to journey through 13 iconic moments from Taylor Swift’s career, with displays of legendary outfits and accessories celebrating the evolution of her style. Presented across the museum as a free trail, the exhibition offered fans a closer look at the craftsmanship and storytelling behind each era.
Our lighting design was carefully crafted to reveal the detail, texture and character of each piece — balancing light and shadow to highlight the artistry of the garments while creating moments of drama and discovery along the route.
Though the exhibition has now closed, the magic of the experience — and the incredible collaboration behind it — remains a memorable project for the team.

Flashback to this time last year, as we were adding the final touches to an immersive exhibition set across the iconic Chatsworth estate in the heart of the Derbyshire Dales
The Gorgeous Nothings brought together botanically inspired works from the Devonshire Collection alongside new commissions by contemporary artists including Kapwani Kiwanga, Ana Prvački, Konstantin Kakanias, David Wiseman and Maurizio Fioravanti.
Each room within the historic interiors presented its own architectural quirks, calling for a carefully tailored lighting approach. From intimate moments to bold, avant-garde solutions, the scheme balanced sensitivity to the interiors and strict conservation requirements for a diverse range of objects — from costumes and oil paintings to delicate organic specimens.

Looking back at one of our most precious projects from 2025; Ancient India: Living Traditions at British Museum was an immersive journey into the origins of Jainism, Buddhism and Hinduism
This exhibition brought together more than 180 extraordinary objects — from sculptures and paintings to delicate drawings and manuscripts — exploring the foundations of three major Indian religions, alongside the influence of nature spirits on art beyond India. The narrative was shaped in close collaboration with a community advisory panel of practising Hindus, Buddhists and Jains, grounding the experience in lived knowledge and authenticity.
Lighting played a central role in shaping the atmosphere. Candlelight effects, intricate gobo patterns and rich, saturated colour created a contemplative, temple-like setting — layered with incense scents and subtle soundscapes.
Central plinths glowed with lotus motifs, while fine golden beams were focused onto key objects, evoking shafts of light pouring into a darkened sanctuary. Soft organza drapes divided the space, gently shimmering as they caught pockets of light.

We were delighted to have delivered the lighting design for the transformation of the former bookshop at the Victoria and Albert Museum in December 2024, reimagined as a flexible 156m² gallery for its Artists in Residence programme ✨
The space debuted with Artists at Work (Dec 2024–Nov 2025), launching a dynamic cycle of changing exhibitions that continues with Artists in Residence (Dec 2025–Nov 2026).
Two bright, airy rooms balance heritage and contemporary design — where Victorian niches and original floorboards meet crisp galvanised steel details. A suspended track and spotlight system with wireless controls enables seamless scene-setting, while colour-changing accents bring the historic arches to life.

Step inside the History of Ireland! 🇮🇪✨
Set within 300-year-old Military Barracks, the brand new Changing Ireland Galleries trace 150 years of transformation through a powerful mix of everyday items and iconic artefacts. From Hannah Sheehy Skeffington’s suffrage banner to James Connolly’s Easter Rising hat, and even Rory Gallagher’s legendary 1961 Stratocaster, history unfolds object by object.
Be-spoke conservation rated showcases, exhibit each piece with unique lighting solution for each case. Across five chronological zones, the atmosphere evolves with the narrative, shifting from warm tones to cool, from dramatic contrasts to a bold 80s/90s nightclub aesthetic.
Where lighting becomes part of the story.

The Station Hall has stepped into a new era ✨
Reopened in September 2025 to celebrate The National Railway Museum’s 50th anniversary, the space forms part of a museum-wide transformation. The entire roof was carefully replaced to introduce controlled daylight, protecting historic vehicles and artefacts while revealing the beauty of the original architecture.
Our new lighting scheme replaced mostly obsolete theatrical tungsten fixtures with an carefully selected track and spotlight system, bringing new lease of life to the large space, highlighting the objects and the fascinating architecture of the original working station hall
One standout highlight? A beautifully preserved W H Smiths kiosk that’s over a century old, a true time capsule within the exhibition.

Hawaiʻi: A Kingdom Crossing Oceans brings centuries of culture to life through feathered cloaks, carved kiʻi, and powerful contemporary voices. Opened on 15 January, the exhibition marks 200 years since the historic 1824 voyage of Liholiho and Kamāmalu, tracing connections between Hawaiʻi and Britain through rare global loans and indigenous collaboration. Our lighting approach was crafted to protect and reveal these sensitive treasures, carefully lit under required conservation levels while guiding visitors across four immersive landscapes. Greeting guests beneath the Great Court canopy, the towering god Kū emerges from shadow in a dramatic, atmospheric welcome.

This major exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum celebrated the vital contributions of disabled, deaf and neurodivergent designers, with accessibility embedded into the lighting concept from day one. Developed in close collaboration with curatorial, access and disability advisory teams, the lighting scheme balanced visibility, comfort and conservation across a wide range of exhibits. A monthly ‘Lights Up’ mode gently raised ambient levels for visitors with low vision, precisely programmed to protect light-sensitive objects through careful zoning and limited exposure. The exhibition sadly closed on 15 February, leaving behind a powerful legacy for inclusive exhibition design.

The lighting in Ancient India: living traditions is surprising, innovative and inspired by visiting @neasdentemple with the wonderful lighting magician Lucy Record @recordlighting It was such an insightful and special experience walking through the whole exhibition with Lucy to fine tune the lighting to really pick up the detail on some objects, such as the ripples on Tara’s lower garment and incredibly fine patterns on terracotta plaques of powerful yakshis (female nature spirits).

Inside @neasdentemple, devotional images are brightly lit from below, above and behind, ensuring the sacred images are the focus of the intricately carved garba griha (‘womb chamber’). This is also the approach that Lucy took to light the sculptures in the exhibition and it has worked brilliantly to highlight them.

There are also other approaches that increase the immersive experience. As you enter the foyer, you will see projections of @neerscreenprints fabulous lotus block print patterns on the walls and floor, immediately immersing you in the ‘living traditions’ part of the show. Then, as you wander into the Nature Spirits section, you are surrounded by vibrant shades of green that gobo projections shape into plants and leaves. Similarly, the special sections with the contemporary films have lotus flower projections above and below to create a sense of harmonious inclusion.

My favourite sections are the fabulous central plinths with rings of lotus flower lighting like mandala patterns around the base, and golden strings emulating divine rays of sunshine glistening from ceiling to the sculptures. They draw and keep your attention on the devotional images. Just brilliant!

Other sections have shifting light effects behind brightly coloured fabrics that serve to highlight the objects nearby. And you can’t miss the levitating lights behind some exceptional loans from @nmnewdelhi in the Jain section.

Ancient India: living traditions is open until 19th October and is Free to visit on Fridays!

The lighting in Ancient India: living traditions is surprising, innovative and inspired by visiting @neasdentemple with the wonderful lighting magician Lucy Record @recordlighting It was such an insightful and special experience walking through the whole exhibition with Lucy to fine tune the lighting to really pick up the detail on some objects, such as the ripples on Tara’s lower garment and incredibly fine patterns on terracotta plaques of powerful yakshis (female nature spirits).

Inside @neasdentemple, devotional images are brightly lit from below, above and behind, ensuring the sacred images are the focus of the intricately carved garba griha (‘womb chamber’). This is also the approach that Lucy took to light the sculptures in the exhibition and it has worked brilliantly to highlight them.
