Interior of a museum or library with a mural of historical figures, a purple information kiosk, and orange chairs.

Heart & Soul Display

Wellcome Collection Library
Design: Studio Naama

Extruded Polycarbonate and timber

Join worked closely with designers Studio Naama to realise this display unit installed in the library at the Wellcome Collection in London. The extruded polycarbonate is more often found on the exterior of buildings, and proved challenging to utilise in a furniture quality piece, but the results speak for themselves.
