Storage Solutions

Most museums show less than 15% of what they own. 
The same engineering that protects what's on display can transform how the rest is stored.

A well-ordered storage facility isn't just a space where objects are kept safe. It's a space where they can be found, identified, accessed, and researched. When that ordering works, a collection becomes usable. When it doesn't, objects sit doubly removed. They are separated from the contexts that gave them meaning, and stored in conditions that offer containment but little else.

We bring the same conservation engineering we apply to exhibition display cases to the design and construction of museum storage. Climate control, airtightness, material safety, modularity, and long-term durability are not exhibition-specific problems. They're collection-wide problems, and most of them are concentrated in the deposit.

What we build

Modular storage systems Configurable as open shelving, double-sided racking, or sealed conservation display, and designed to be reconfigured as collections grow and research needs change.

Conservation-grade storage cabinets Climate-controlled, built with VOC-safe materials, and engineered to the same airtightness and humidity standards as our exhibition display cases.

Integrated exhibition and storage devices Display cases that serve a dual function — combining public-facing exhibition with archival storage accessible to curatorial staff, through drawers, layered access, or multi-level structures.

Visible storage Systems designed for deposits that are part of the visitor experience, where the stored collection is exposed rather than hidden.

Retrofitting and reorganization Upgrading existing storage infrastructure, replacing materials, improving climate performance, and adapting layouts to current conservation standards without starting from scratch.
