Titanic Belfast
Northern Threads Exhibition
Titanic Belfast appointed our team as exhibition fit‑out contractor for Titanic Belfast Curates… NI Fashion and Textiles, a major temporary summer exhibition celebrating the creativity, craftsmanship, and innovation of Northern Irish fashion and textile design.
Located at the world‑famous site where RMS Titanic was built, the exhibition continues Titanic Belfast’s commitment to delivering world‑class, accessible cultural experiences that resonate with both local and international audiences.
Our commission covered the full design and build of all physical exhibition infrastructure, transforming the client’s initial concept designs into a fully realised, flexible, and reusable exhibition environment within a live public building.
The centrepiece of the exhibition is a bespoke fashion catwalk running through the heart of the Andrews Gallery. Designed and built by our team, the catwalk showcases three pieces from each of the four featured designers. Inspired by Belfast’s textile heritage and the historic importance of the River Lagan during the Linenopolis era, the catwalk was developed with a flowing, river‑like form. This sculptural element acts both as a visual anchor for the exhibition and as a symbolic reference to the city’s industrial and creative past.
Designer Studio Pods – We designed and constructed four individual designer studio pods, each providing a distinctive yet coherent space to spotlight the work and storytelling of participating designers. These pods were manufactured as modular units to allow flexibility in layout and future reuse.
A themed retail concession pop‑up, integrated seamlessly with the overall exhibition aesthetic.
A bespoke desk and workbench for a live pop‑up design studio, enabling hands‑on engagement and workshops.
