Hayward Gallery – Undercover Surrealism

The Undercover Surrealism exhibition at the Hayward gallery was the first major survey of DOCUMENTS, the radical surrealist magazine published in France in 1929 and 1930, and edited by the avant-garde philosopher and novelist Georges Bataille. DOCUMENTS combined an eclectic mixture of art, archaeology, ethnography and popular culture, drawing in many of the greatest writers, poets and artists of the time, including Carl Einstein, Robert Desnos, Pablo Picasso, Joan Miró and André Masson.

The aim of the design was to recreate Bataille’s two-dimensional and monochromatic vision in a glorious technicolour pop up show, bringing together much of Document’s original material in order to create a three-dimensional vision of surrealism. The layout and the exhibition’s structure with walls punctuated with openings, created unexpected views and vistas that encouraged the viewer to really look. This was a full-frontal assault on the senses, intended to bring DOCUMENTS to life. We designed the layout, the interior architecture, the showcases and the display.

Porthcurno Telegraph Museum


From 1870 to 1970 Porthcurno was the hub of international cable communications. During World War II Cornish miners dug secret tunnels to house the entire telegraph operations underground in order to secure them from enemy attack. The centre was subsequently classified as a heritage site and granted lottery funding to enable the tunnels to be restored and converted into a museum, part of which houses the Cable & Wireless collection of historical communication equipment.

We were the lead consultants providing concepts, feasibility study and fundraising presentation followed by design of gallery, exhibition layout, display structures and showcases, interactive design, and graphics. We then provided the 3D detail package, tender documentation, project management, cost control, risk assessment and health and safety and supervision of production and installation.

The Refinery

The Refinery is London’s premier one-stop grooming emporium for men. Barbering, skincare and treatments are available in its two retreats in Mayfair and in Harrods in Knightsbridge. Combining the comfort and atmosphere of a gentleman’s club with the vitality and sense of well being of a health spa, The Refinery provides an environment for relaxing, unwinding and revitalising.

Minale Tattersfield created the name and the identity and designed the interior for the original premises in Mayfair. The materials used were natural and traditional but given a contemporary twist. Dark oak doors, marble floors, granite tiling and stone coloured grey or deep blue walls work together to create a space which is stylish and luxurious.
