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.
