Taylor-Davies Design provides specialist services for preparing garments and textiles for museum display and exhibition. The studio works closely with curators, conservators, and exhibition designers to ensure that each object is presented to its best advantage while maintaining the highest standards of care and preservation. From bespoke mannequin construction to custom mounting solutions, every aspect of the display process is handled with precision and sensitivity.
The studio's mounting work encompasses the creation of padded and shaped mannequin forms, internal support structures, and custom mounts for flat textiles and accessories. Each mount is individually designed and constructed to support the specific garment or textile, respecting its weight, construction, and condition. The studio has prepared objects for display at leading institutions including the V&A, Barbican and Simone Handbag Museum.
