Wilkinson Royal Academy Sculpture

Each year as part of their Summer Season the Royal Academy installs a sculpture in the Annenberg Courtyard. In recent years there have been installations from the likes of Damien Hirst and Barry Flanagan amongst others. For 2012, Chris Wilkinson RA has designed a large and engaging structure for the space titled 'From Landscape to Portrait'. The piece comprises a series of eleven wooden frames which twist through ninety degrees, and incorporating a base which has  seating for visitors.
Crescent Lighting supplied a number of CLF2210 LED paver fittings which were installed in the corner of the frames to accentuate the sense of movement when viewed at night.
Crescent worked closely with Dominic Wilkinson from Wilkinson Design Studio on the project, he commented " The installation was very challenging from a technical and programme perspective. By quickly understanding the inherent restrictions of the project, Crescent were able to offer expert advice and practical options within the tight timescales" He also felt that the fittings "..exceeded expectations, providing a discreet and elegant lighting solution that enhances the piece.."
