Project Details

Client: Kelham Island Museum

Location: Sheffield

Chris Brammall was commissioned by client Kelham Island Museum to design, manufacture and install several directional and information signs around the Island.  The design is inspired by the utilitarian heritage depicting the robust legacy of steel in Sheffield.  The engineering drawings from the historical archive at the museum also inspired the design following the shadows and interlocking plates.

The signs were manufactured in Corten (also known as weathering steel) which compliments the design elements and also the environment surroundings.

What people say?

We have worked with Chris and his team for many years now and they have completed some of our most complicated sculpture projects, with the utmost professionalism and care. Our relationship with CB Arts is more than client/supplier, we see Chris and his team as our partners who we trust. Chris Brammall is an artist in his own right and it is this element that makes his manufacture offer special to us, he understands form, scale, aesthetics and how materials will work in the public realm and this is invaluable.

What people say?

We are so delighted with our two major pieces of work from Chris - a Spitfire Sculpture and our staircase. Chris listened to our requirements and gave us designs which exceeded our expectations. The Spitfire is the first thing you see on arrival at DCS Group and it is simply awesome. Then in reception visitors experience his amazing staircase as they make their way to our meeting rooms. All in all - he has created superb work and we are delighted. We would definitely use Chris again.

We are so pleased with the metalwork installations CB Arts have created and installed at Whitby, the house looks absolutely wonderful, as do the barriers. The installation team were great and everything went smoothly. It has been a pleasure to work with Chris and the team.
