We design and fabricate custom mounts for art and artefacts and offer tailored solutions to suit your unique display requirements. Whether you need a mount that seamlessly blends into the background or one that integrates with the artefact to represent lost components, we can bring your vision to life. 

Every object and exhibition are unique, so we take great care in designing mounts that complement and showcase artworks and artefacts to their full potential.  With a focus on preservation, our expert team works with you to take into account the specific needs of each artefact, considering factors such as weight, fragility, and structural requirements. We ensure that our mounts provide secure and stable support while minimising the risk of damage or stress to the artefact.

The benefits of custom mounts include:

Preservation and stability: Custom mounts are designed to cradle and support artefacts properly. They increase stability to oddly shaped objects and can prevent physical damage, such as scratches, abrasions, or warping. 

Visibility: Properly designed mounts can enhance the visibility and accessibility of artefacts. They can elevate objects to eye level or create the illusion of floating, making it easier for viewers to appreciate the details and aesthetics of the artefact.

Aesthetic enhancement: Mounts can be designed to enhance the aesthetic presentation of artefacts. They can be made to blend seamlessly with the overall exhibit design, ensuring that the focus remains on the artefacts themselves.
