What we do

Our practice is inherently multi-disciplinary, so we lend a broad range of expertise to projects in many different ways. Here are some of the things that we do:

Story Consultancy

Whether helping to shape the narrative of an exhibition design, or working with architects and developers, we provide consultancy services to help weave storytelling through physical spaces. Skills in writing, dramaturgy and design come together to help generate story-telling concepts for a broad range of projects.

Creative Direction

59 often provides a multi-disciplinary team of artists, technologists and other creatives to develop story-telling experiences in a range of locations and mediums. Providing creative direction to those teams ensures that even the biggest and most complex projects are coherent and compelling.

Video Design

For over 20 years, 59 has been creating video design for a range of cultural projects. Bringing together film-making, animation, and motion graphic design, we find creative ways to integrate digital work into physical spaces – whether on stage, in large-scale projection-mapping projects or in museums and galleries.

Interactive Design

59 creates both digital material as well as technical design for interactive installations in a range of cultural venues including museums, galleries and concert halls. We also have extensive experience of creating VR, AR and XR projects, distributed both online and through location-based experiences.

Lighting Design

Many of our public-facing cultural projects integrate dynamic lighting design into built environments and live performances. Our in house lighting design work is often closely interwoven with physical and digitally displayed elements.

Technical Design

59 has always considered the ‘how’ alongside the ‘what’ in conceiving of ambitious creative projects. Our technical team provide systems designs across multiple platforms to bring our ideas to life.

Production

When creating large-scale public projects, 59 is often called upon to oversee all elements of a production, from logistics, to install, to technical delivery to site management. Whilst we don’t provide these services for projects other than those which we are designing, our team can provide support in a range of roles to help make ambitious projects possible.
