We increased the amount of picture-hanging wall on the ground floor and introduced some hinged, display panels over the stairs, as well as generally re-furbishing the gallery. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54297bace4b0d73db2d1fa6b/1414757204594-5RF2VYYNM2UJB7V10M5S/Mould+Gallery+2006.JPG Gallery - Philip Mould Gallery 2006 We have designed all of dealer and broadcaster, Philip Mould’s galleries. The current one, his third, in Dover Street differs from most Mayfair galleries in that the site is square in plan and offered us the chance to work on a blank canvas and to design several galleries (some with daylight top lighting), offices and back-of -house facilities. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54297bace4b0d73db2d1fa6b/1415805768609-K20HSVKQHFQ0AM22SVA0/Queens+House.jpg Gallery - The Queen’s House National Maritime Museum 2001 At the heart of the museum is Inigo Jones’s Queen’s House. How to use the house has always challenged the museum. We proposed a light touch - a decorative scheme, some discreet exhibition lighting and flexible showcases to fit window reveals so that the house could be easily used as a gallery for a programme of temporary exhibitions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54297bace4b0d73db2d1fa6b/1415806265193-SL4V9D3B5AQ4IR799DOW/Treasures+of+the+North+Christie%27s+2000.JPG Gallery - Christie’s From 1995 to 2003 we were design consultants to Christie’s, designing a wide variety of projects including salerooms, exhibitions, graphics and lighting. The work included designing the Christie’s non-selling, millennium exhibition, Treasures of the North, in King Street London, and subsequently in the Whitworth Gallery, Manchester. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54297bace4b0d73db2d1fa6b/1555417383827-2A9JUNDFICJDVV1DD0YW/CMS2016.05a+copy+thumbnail.jpg Gallery - Axia Art Ltd, Frieze Masters 2016 In 2016 we designed a stand for Frieze Masters for Axia Art Ltd. ‘Art from the Christian East’ 400-1500 AD’. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54297bace4b0d73db2d1fa6b/1555417217296-9AB0T2VDI1P93FX631XS/CMS2016.03e+copy.jpg Gallery - Ben Wright, Masterpiece 2014-2016 Over three years 2014-2016 we designed exhibition stands for Ben Wright, the clock dealer, at the Masterpiece Art Fair. http://www.charlesmarsden-smedley.com/cms-home daily 1.0 2023-07-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54297bace4b0d73db2d1fa6b/1415272719366-7L1IJKPSOBGZNMF4L977/1.+Persian+Art+Museum+2011+2+copy.jpg Home - Museum of Persian Art 2011 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54297bace4b0d73db2d1fa6b/1689253770170-0R5JY7HOR00U0BT16F87/CMS2023.04b%2Bcopy.jpg Home - Igniting Minds Exhibition for Bosch 2023 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54297bace4b0d73db2d1fa6b/1555415522411-RC68SMZPI0GNH403ZPBV/CMS2015.01c+copy.jpg Home - Sir John Soane's Museum 2015 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54297bace4b0d73db2d1fa6b/1555415620797-AULDEPSZAMKI5C8FGTDE/CMS2016.02a.jpg Home - The Salters' Company 2016 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54297bace4b0d73db2d1fa6b/1415807276309-6RI0ZWOGR752GFPAOS86/8.+Qatar+Metalwork+edit.jpg Home - Metalwork Treasures of the Islamic Courts, Qatar 2002 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54297bace4b0d73db2d1fa6b/1415807164128-W7LHMS0QKMOPJ651SSVT/3.+Military+Ext+edit.jpg Home - Military Museum 2014 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54297bace4b0d73db2d1fa6b/1576594411646-WQ0J3GSPUIN2JWD4ZZFY/CMS2019.03g.jpg Home - Waddesdon Manor Treasury 2019 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54297bace4b0d73db2d1fa6b/1637775731309-8YRGODFVZIBBBS7FMIBC/LCG_12.jpg Home - Artwork project Lord's Cricket Ground 2021 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54297bace4b0d73db2d1fa6b/1637775939785-JBGP6WTNY5OQX0Z3JXZ4/GG_10.jpg Home - Grinling Gibbons exhibition Compton Verney 2021 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54297bace4b0d73db2d1fa6b/1689253724309-AQFLZB4D0UJZOLCYMYYD/CMS2023.04o+copy.JPG Home - Multi projection for Igniting Minds Exhibition 2023 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54297bace4b0d73db2d1fa6b/1689672439114-OL6JPSTGOO9Z3WH9SAEC/CMS2022.03h+copyright+Dirk+Lindner%3ALeighton+House.jpg Home - Lord Leighton Showcase 2022 http://www.charlesmarsden-smedley.com/neaboutw-page daily 0.75 2019-09-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54297bace4b0d73db2d1fa6b/1415833282342-7UMUKN5293K0AYSH1KLB/Screen+shot+2014-11-12+at+23.00.24.png Press Click for PDF file https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54297bace4b0d73db2d1fa6b/1415202365259-UQ7IOIL2638C8S2Z0NUP/CMS+Telegraph+21+11+06.jpeg Press https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54297bace4b0d73db2d1fa6b/1415202365742-HBR0FZPV32MC397AET2N/CMS+Art+Newspaper+0207.jpeg Press https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54297bace4b0d73db2d1fa6b/1415202365569-DN36W1ISFWR2JASTYNEC/CMS+Telegraph+13+12+08.jpeg Press https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54297bace4b0d73db2d1fa6b/1415202365193-3MUJMCFNVP7G3C35UBWJ/Screen+shot+2014-11-05+at+15.44.18.png Press https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54297bace4b0d73db2d1fa6b/1415833415001-322309E2GI2R3494F7AW/Screen+shot+2014-11-12+at+23.03.05.png Press Click for PDF file https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54297bace4b0d73db2d1fa6b/1415927309984-7LCQ19DSSJYS2TJHZ458/cms_fam.png Press Click for PDF file https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54297bace4b0d73db2d1fa6b/1568043693899-WXX85568E39TKUZ7TV4T/Country+Life+5+Sept+2019-1+copy.jpg Press http://www.charlesmarsden-smedley.com/lighting daily 0.75 2023-07-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54297bace4b0d73db2d1fa6b/1414758230303-3TMQRIBL9MX0L90TIEPM/National+Gallery+1993.JPG Lighting - The National Gallery 1993-95 We were lighting consultants to the National Gallery in London in the mid-1990s. Our work started with a commission to light the Central Hall, shown here, and continued with lighting designs for other galleries. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54297bace4b0d73db2d1fa6b/1414758225619-6LWOTFO6PGL46E6UZ2NQ/Courtauld+Institute+1994.JPG Lighting - The Courtauld Institute 1994 The first of several projects for the Courtauld, we worked on this with architects Purcell Miller Tritton. The central oval is entirely new and houses the lighting and the air-conditioning. The recessed, directional spotlights were inserted into an 18th century guilloche design and illuminated the hanging walls below. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54297bace4b0d73db2d1fa6b/1689257039183-6O036U36H2PVYZ2EEZJW/CMS2023.01k%252Bcopy.jpg Lighting - Sir John Soane Museum When the Students Room was renovated we were asked to light the plaster casts. To mimic the daylight effects we installed tiny lights at a sharp angle to highlight the relief of the casts. This was the latest of several lighting schemes we have designed for the museum that started in the 1980s. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54297bace4b0d73db2d1fa6b/1689257086606-7HBG8VXRV5URM0H84LDT/CMS2020.05b%252Bcopy%252B2.jpg Lighting - Cromwell Place Arts Hub Lighting 2020 Five substantial London town houses were converted into multiple art galleries for hire. This gallery, the Pavilion Gallery was a new build, occupying what was the gardens of the houses. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54297bace4b0d73db2d1fa6b/1689256719644-FFXVT3X4ZX35512MWTOS/christies2.jpg Lighting - Christie’s King Street 2008 After acting as design consultant to Christie’s (1995-2003) we were well placed to understand how Christie’s use their salerooms. We were called back in 2008 to join the design team refurbishing the rooms. To avoid ugly track lighting we designed discreet troughs to house the lights which can be remotely focused and dimmed from below, using a hand controller. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54297bace4b0d73db2d1fa6b/1415113605692-BMA3MTWSY1Z9ICZ0S4DW/CMS2008.06b.JPG Lighting - Lalique Car Mascots Private Collector 2008 In the 1930s the smartest cars in Paris had Lalique glass mascots on the front of their bonnets. Linked to the car’s dynamo, the faster the car was driven, the brighter the mascots glowed. We designed a showcase for the largest private collection of these mascots, recreating the original magical effects, by lighting each mascot from underneath. http://www.charlesmarsden-smedley.com/exhibition daily 0.75 2021-10-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54297bace4b0d73db2d1fa6b/1689255147562-UAQQ7NAKUZ6CONIHD8BU/CMS2021.01a+copy.jpg Exhibition - Gustave Moreau. The Fables. 2021 An exhibition designed at Waddesdon Manor, the exhibition showed 35 surviving watercolours that Moreau painted to illustrate La Fontaine’s Fables, between 1879 and 1884. We designed a caption tray below the watercolours for the extended captions that summarised each of the illustrated fables. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54297bace4b0d73db2d1fa6b/1634729047309-BMTS4S76CVKYNPFFVPV2/CMS2021.04b.jpeg Exhibition - Grinling Gibbons Centuries in the Making, Compton Verney 2021 To mark the tercentenary of Grinling Gibbons death we designed an exhibition of his work first at Bonhams and then at Compton Verney. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54297bace4b0d73db2d1fa6b/1555490299210-DUO9SPWYOF2UGKJAX0RK/CMS2017.01d.jpg Exhibition - Every Object Tells A Story, The Lavery Room 2017 Art dealer Oliver Hoare was fascinated in the stories behind objects. In 2015, and then again, 2017 he asked us to find venues for his exhibitions; Fitzroy Square in 2015 and in 2017, the Lavery Room in South Kensington. We then designed the exhibitions, with their wonderfully eclectic mix of objects. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54297bace4b0d73db2d1fa6b/1689260719769-YTH0GRTZZBQ2VZMUY1CA/CMS2023.04k%2Bcopy%2B2.jpg Exhibition - Igniting Minds Exhibition, Celebrating 125 years of Bosch in the UK. 2023 Occupying three galleries in the Cromwell Place Arts Hub, the image above was the heart of the exhibition, showing a combination of the latest products alongside their historical equivalents. Another gallery focused on the history, and a final section was an immersive experience with projections on three walls showing possible future developments.

This was a design challenge, as the pictures could not be removed from their mounts and frames. We designed a display wall, allowing the framed pictures to be slid behind a wall, with cut-outs, with the end result that only the drawings themselves were on view. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54297bace4b0d73db2d1fa6b/1689255146224-V6SA98ZD4V27563LM78K/CMS2023.06a+copy+2.JPG Exhibition - Bosch Exhibition at their UK headquarters in Denham 2023 http://www.charlesmarsden-smedley.com/international daily 0.75 2023-07-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54297bace4b0d73db2d1fa6b/1415117744623-DVC24M54MX4Z4D41C7DA/CMS1996.05d+sharper+copy+2.JPG International - Patagonia Exhibition, Argentine Ambassador’s Residence, 1996 The Argentine Ambassador in London commissioned us to design an exhibition about Patagonia. Largely ethnographic, telling the stories of the Patagonian tribes, it included loans from the British Museum and The National Maritime Museum. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54297bace4b0d73db2d1fa6b/1415117743390-D1765M2GF3AOLZKISQ3V/CMS2002.02i.JPG International - Metalwork Treasures from the Islamic Courts. Doha, Qatar 2002 For the first Doha Cultural Festival we were commissioned by the Government of Qatar to design two exhibitions. This one, and an exhibition of Mughal jewellery. We were given the ballroom of the Marriott Hotel as a venue, in which we installed an Islamic pavilion for the exhibition so that nothing of the ballroom in the end was visible. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54297bace4b0d73db2d1fa6b/1415117745162-UOXCIZ7TEDSXQL43SU7R/CMS1987.01b+copy+2.JPG International - Thai. Portrait of a Kingdom. The Barbican 1987 This was our first ever exhibition and it remains one of our biggest. After living in Thailand, the government leapt on my idea to stage an event to celebrate their King’s 60th birthday. A traditional teak house, raised on stilts, was built in the gallery and an audio visual of Bangkok street life was produced. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54297bace4b0d73db2d1fa6b/1415117743305-3HW143NAZNJEX81KXVAO/CMS2009.03b+copy.JPG International - Private collection of Orientalist Paintings Cairo 2009 One of an increasing number of private museums we have been commissioned to design, this project involved working out how to hang, and light, over 100 superb Orientalist works in a newly-built house in Cairo. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54297bace4b0d73db2d1fa6b/1555516371058-VMUXEJJK5YPCC4QSU85L/CMS2017-rak-plan.jpg International - Ras Al Khaimah 2017 In 2016 we were appointed by the government of Ras Al Khaimah UAE to design a national museum housed in a fort built in 1840 to keep the British out. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54297bace4b0d73db2d1fa6b/1415117744697-ZOBUX2AYWCXEL3KY67E3/CMS1998.02h+copy.JPG International - Maltese Costume Exhibition The Palace, Valletta, Malta 1998 In the 1990s we designed exhibitions for the Government of Malta, the first in London, the others in Valletta. The Old Palace in Valletta was a superb venue with its painted ceilings and high-level murals depicting scenes of Maltese history. We simply inserted a huge double-sided central plinth in the main room and added some temporary display lighting. http://www.charlesmarsden-smedley.com/museum daily 0.75 2023-07-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54297bace4b0d73db2d1fa6b/1415203529764-XKLLEZAIWL91AV73QDXO/Carriage+Museum+2008.JPG Museum - Carriage Museum https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54297bace4b0d73db2d1fa6b/1568042630340-Y9SQR9IG8XTRB3Q4AT59/CMS2019.03g.jpg Museum - A ROTHSCHILD TREASURY, WADDESDON MANOR VIDEO https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54297bace4b0d73db2d1fa6b/1414757816400-YML1065P05P1KZ8W30U4/Upper+Deck+Project+National+Maritime+Museum+2004.JPG Museum - Upper Deck Project, The National Maritime Museum 2004 In Neptune Court, the upper section of the roofed-over courtyard had always posed a challenge to the museum. We designed three giant showcases to show over 400 objects as an introduction to the museum’s collection. Each showcase is over 16m long and has a suspended canopy to shade it from the sun. The open area in the centre became a popular events venue and is available for hire. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54297bace4b0d73db2d1fa6b/1689255718623-3SILQQP28VFD658FT0UI/CMS2022.03a+copy.jpg Museum - Leighton House, Holland Park 2022 As part of the rebuilding of the Perrin wing we were commissioned to design the museum displays, including this collection of DeMorgan ceramics, presented as though floating between two brick piers. The project was shortlisted for the Art Fund Museum of the Year 2023. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54297bace4b0d73db2d1fa6b/1414757808689-N180JSTV5IJRKYTJXTCU/1.+Persian+Art+Museum+2011+lead+copy.JPG Museum - Private Museum of Persian Art Given an underground concrete bunker and an important collection of Persian Art, our brief was to create intimate areas, without compromising the grandeur of the 5m high space. We inserted two mezzanine floors and designed a pair of curved staircases. The four mezzanine galleries, upper and lower, are intimate, but also offer views back across the full height gallery. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54297bace4b0d73db2d1fa6b/1414757814551-BK56ZXVIKW6JUD7PDARI/Museum+of+Edward+I+Tower+of+London+1992.JPG Museum - Museum of Edward 1, The Tower of London 1994 Within the Lanthorn Tower we created an arcature based on architectural features surviving from Edward I’s palace at the Tower of London. Showcases were supported by the columns, which also concealed lighting for the six individual exhibits. Each object was connected to a different theme with explanatory text and an image shown on the adjacent wall. http://www.charlesmarsden-smedley.com/graphics daily 0.75 2023-07-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54297bace4b0d73db2d1fa6b/1689257237322-MFYLEGDFJUASIPQ9GRR2/CMS2023.04zss.jpg Graphics - Igniting Minds Exhibition for Bosch 2023 In the main section of the exhibition we designed a 15m long timeline in three strips; the top milestone projects; the middle company history; the bottom divided in two; Bosch family history above a strip of text only for national and international events.

We also rearranged the sculpture and added new lighting to our previous scheme. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54297bace4b0d73db2d1fa6b/1555491188692-0VXKKVM1RWP895A6MHGE/Logo+in+colour.jpg Graphics - Every Object Tells A Story 2017 Designed as a title block for exhibition, it was cut in 3D gold letters (see exhibitions) and reproduced in other forms including a canvas bag for the brilliant, but heavy catalogue. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54297bace4b0d73db2d1fa6b/1555491286464-CPCQWLM3R75NPOCMG2BL/CMS2018.01c.jpg Graphics - The Silk Road, 2018 Re-using CMS’s design for Every Object Tells a Story exhibition in 2017, an exhibition was designed in memory of Oliver Hoare, to accompany his catalogue of Silk Road objects. A giant map of the Silk Road was stretched across the North wall with objects placed according to where they were found on the Silk Road, which with place names, put in context the Silk Road Objects displayed below. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54297bace4b0d73db2d1fa6b/1414758355165-HHXOYLI3R5INUP0OF23X/HSBC+mural+2002.JPG Graphics - HSBC Headquarters 2002 When Lord Foster designed the new HSBC headquarters in Canary Wharf, he left an opportunity in the main hall and the lower hall to tell the HSBC story. Thomas Heatherwick designed a history wall upstairs, and downstairs we produced a mural made up of elevations (to scale) of HSBC buildings from around the world.
