Royal Academy of Arts Display Showcases

Unibox creates a bespoke showcase solution for the Royal Academy of Arts in collaboration with Tom Dixon Studio.

Tom Dixon Studio appointed our team to design, manufacture, and install a series of custom glass cabinets for Oliver Peyton’s celebrated restaurant inside the Royal Academy of Arts. Following a brief to create a solution that excelled in both form and function, we used the Unibox Modular System to provide unbeatable scope for customisation according to our client’s specific requirements.

The minimalist design of the installation was achieved through the use of sleek aluminium frames that had been powder-coated in a matte black finish together with toughened glass and acrylic cubes. The combination of these elements created an end result that provided a secure, robust space in which the Royal Academy’s curators could showcase its prized artefacts whilst preserving the overall aesthetic of the dining environment.

The opulence of [the space] is defined by the dramatic, free-standing centrepiece, in which sculptures and busts dating back to 1897 are housed in glass cubes. The restaurant at the Royal Academy of Arts is an exercise in elegance.
