OVERVIEW
The new Design Museum at Kensington, which opened its
doors to the public in November 2016 following a move from
its previous residence at Shad Thames, has specified Allgood’s
Modric ironmongery throughout its interior. Winner of the Guild
of Architectural Ironmongery Specification Awards 2016/ 2017
Commercial category, the imaginative ironmongery solutions
meet the architects brief; matching the building’s look and feel.
One of the £83million refurbishment’s standout architectural
features was the preservation of the original roof structure, which
was central to how the new project took shape. The internal
floors of the old building were demolished with a series of
piles, temporary trusses and beams supporting the internal roof
columns until the new structure was built and the fit-out stage
could begin.
The inherent objective of the project was to create a worldclass
museum in the heart of London, including permanent and
temporary exhibitions as well as learning spaces – showcasing
all elements of design, including fashion, product and graphic
design.
Established in 1989, the museum is known for promoting and
exhibiting the best in British design as well as displaying bold and
iconic international items.
A British design classic, Modric is manufactured in Allgood’s UK
factory where craftsmen pay close to attention to detail, hand
finishing every product. Modric has a long-standing reputation
of quality built on its ability to consistently perform to the highest
standard. Operating on the unique quadaxial fixing, Modric lever
handles have been independently tested to BS EN 1906 and
have surpassed 1 million cycles, providing just one example why
Allgood has the confidence to offer a 25 year warranty on the
range.
The interior of the Design Museum features an array of
productsfrom the Modric range including lever handles, hinges,
pull handles,push plates, wc turns, and door signage, as well
as overhead doorclosers, magnetic door holders and unique,
concealed doorstops.
