DETAILS
Series of display cabinets for the pathology department to showcase a collection of historical scientific and medical instruments, such as x-ray tubes. The images relate to laboratory overalls, and ‘mad science’, with references to H G Wells’ ‘Invisible Man’. There are also a series of geometric shapes, which reflect perhaps the sound, or frequency that would emanate from the instruments on display.

The concept of the cabinets was inspired from a previous designed cabinet by Pearman featuring a custom laminated finish.
