David Bowie Is…. open

DHA were delighted to be the lighting designers for the eagerly anticipated David Bowie Is… exhibition at the V&A. With our background in theatre and rock concert lighting, and our experience in galleries and museums, it was a great opportunity to showcase dynamic exhibition lighting. We worked closely with the museum, 59 Productions and Real Studios to bring the glamour and excitement of Bowie to the V&A.

The exhibition has already become the fastest-selling in the V&A’s history, described by the Evening Standard in its 5-star review as “a triumph” and tickets and further information can be found here

Death: A Self-Portrait at Wellcome Trust

DHA were delighted to be asked to work with the Wellcome Trust’s in-house design and exhibition team for the first time, to light this fascinating collection. The exhibition comprises over 300 works from the Richard Harris collection, all dealing with different images and ideas of death. These range from artists such as Goya, Rembrandt and Warhol, to a wealth of ethnographic material. The sheer array of conservation grade material made the show challenging to light.

The Observer described the show as “tremendous” and more can be found out at the Wellcome Collection’s own website here

Casio G-Shock

Casio opened their new flagship store for the G-Shock brand in London on Saturday 21st of April and DHA Designs were very pleased to be brought in to advise on the lighting for the store. DHA Designs were retained by HarrimanSteel on this exciting project in a premier location in the heart of Covent Garden.

The store was designed as a very flexible space, retaining a strong aesthetic. Upstairs, the store has a modern, stylish feel; while the downstairs is more urban. The lighting is designed to compliment the space and remain consistent throughout.
