The Botanist

A brand new bar/restaurant in London’s Sloane Square featuring a glass wall with images taken from a set of Journals belonging to naturalist Hans Sloane whose vast private collections formed the core of the Natural History Museum and the British Museum. 
Artist and designer Adam Ellis selected, photographed and digitally coloured each individual image before working closely with BAF who printed the images direct to glass. The glass is laminated, low iron and low reflection and works really well in showing off the colour and detail of the prints. Despite being lit from the front, the images appear to be backlit giving the cabinet a real sense of depth.

British Museum: Hadrian Empire and Conflict

Hadrian: Empire and Conflict was the major exhibition at the British Museum in 2008. BAF produced Lambda and vinyl prints with giant gloss portraits to bring this charismatic leader to life in the famous Reading Room in the Museum’s Great Court. This special exhibition explores the life, love and legacy of Hadrian through the dramatic sculpture, exquisite bronzes and architectural fragments associated with his reign. Carolyn Marsden-Smith, Head of Exhibitions personally thanked BAF for their “creative, ‘can do’ approach” which she said was greatly valued on this very important and ambitious project.
