Branching Out
September 2018
Opus Magnum recently worked with Kurt Geiger on a new shop display by manufacturing and installing these leaf-like, rotating shoe shelves. Each shelf is individually cast in Jesmonite and features an integrated LED to illuminate the shelf below, all cantilevered off a single powder-coated aluminium pole. There are close to 100 of these shelves in the space creating an organic, adaptable, footwear forest.
12m Boardroom Table
August 2018
Opus Magnum is currently producing an impressive 12m long boardroom table in grey-stained, quarter sawn, European oak. The top includes a black Fenix inlay with 16 matching flaps to house retractable data monitors and microphones. The large base is clad entirely in Fenix with flush access doors for cable management.
A table this long is always a welcome challenge!
Pictures to follow upon completion.
A Stone’s Throw
June 2018
To aid in the selection of two Onyx slabs for a current project in the Heron Tower, a day trip to northern Italy was required. These slabs were hand-picked fresh from the source and will be water-jet cut to lie in the centre of an impressive, 8m long, corporate dining table.
Broadwick Street Reception
May 2018
The waves have taken shape! Opus Magnum manufactured and installed this stunning reception area, clad almost entirely with concrete. The contrasting birch plywood feature wall was CNC’d from individual panels, each with a unique angled edge to accentuate the form.
Driftwood
March 2018
We’ve been busy creating a series of birch plywood waves for one of our next projects, accompanied by some impressive concrete features. Pictures and details to follow once installed…
Sneaker Gallery
February 2018
Opus Magnum‘s most recent installation for Selfridges – a vapour blasted, stainless steel sneaker gallery consisting of folded display walls, mid-floor tables, faceted column shelving and bevelled brand signage. The soft reflections achieved by vapour blasting are stunning.
Craft & Collaboration at The Department Store
September 2017
We recently attended the Craft & Collaboration event at The Department Store in Brixton, Squire & Partners’ new office space and one of our fondest projects to date.
Joining a whole host of different companies, we presented to members of the public and industry, detailing how we worked alongside Squire & Partners to develop such an effective space. It was a brilliant opportunity for people to see behind the scenes of an Opus Magnum venture and witness a live, working project.
Private Equity Firm
December 2018
Here is one example of a range of tables recently manufactured for a private equity firm, all of which required a variety of specialist techniques. The surf edge detail is coated in a patinated liquid bronze finish, post-lipped to surround the leather top and decorative bronze inlay. The base is constructed from solid European walnut in a tapered cross formation, with cables running down the inside of each leg. The tables were accompanied by a 3.6m long patinated bronze and leather fronted reception desk.
