Ashmolean Museum

Brief:
Update existing banner system as catenary wire are marking pillars

Requirements:

• To be as unobtrusive as possible
• Grip pillar to prevent the banner moving
• Work with existing banner setup

Final Proposal:

Praxis designed and produced a silicon extrusion that would house the existing catenary wire.  While being strong enough not to split under the strain of the catenary wire it also hade to be soft enough not to damage the pillars. The silicon was colour match to the sandstone pillars to reduce its visibility.  

Banner Material:

• Exterior banner mesh
