Islamic glass art at the Leighton House Museum as double doors to facilitate thermal control within the Upper Perrin Gallery and provide interconnecting vision between two gallery spaces.
Conceived to install a relevant new contribution to the museum whilst acknowledging the spirit of Lord Leighton’s original studio home.
A Space Intervention, with reference to perception and the influences of Leighton’s Arab Hall, to combine the historic aspects of the house with its present day gallery use. The primary influence for the Islamic Glass Art door was derived from the Damascene Musharabiyeh windows in the Arab Hall, designed by Leighton’s architect George Aitchison.
