Roman & Williams designed Marcel, the new restaurant at Sotheby's Breuer Building, around a simple premise: art and hospitality as a single experience. Guests descend beneath the building's Brutalist staircase into warm walnut paneling and candlelight, surrounded by works by Warhol, Calder, and Joan Mitchell on the walls, with Goppion cases throughout the space displaying art, jewelry, and design pieces available through Sotheby's.

The Crown Room at reopened last month, housing the Honours of Scotland in a new Goppion display case. The Crown of Scotland, Sceptre, and Sword of State with scabbard and belt form the oldest surviving set of crown jewels in the UK.
The one-off case was commissioned by and incorporates active climate control, certified airtightness, and a layered lighting scheme controlled remotely. Mirrors on the interior ceiling allow visitors to look up and see the jewels reflected from above. Exhibition design by Qualia Ltd.

No material inside a Goppion case is incidental. Every component is tested through protocols including the Oddy Test, gas chromatography, and accelerated aging to ensure it introduces nothing harmful to the microclimate. When objects themselves release VOCs, our filter systems and heat-treatment technologies accelerate the removal of pollutants and track their behavior over time. Conservation operates at the molecular level.

Today is International Museum Day. This year's theme, "Museums Uniting a Divided World," recognizes the role of museums as spaces for dialogue, understanding, and shared cultural heritage.
Goppion is proud to work alongside museums and cultural institutions around the world. From Abu Dhabi to Rotterdam, Tokyo to New York, Florence to Cairo, our work supports the institutions that make these connections possible.

Three values guide our work.
🛡️ Conservation. Every display case we build is designed around the specific vulnerabilities of the object inside it. Without the preservation of cultural objects, study material would be lacking on which to base future interpretations. Conservation is not a subsidiary service, but the heart of what we do.
👁️ Readability. Making an object visible is not enough. We engineer for full optical transparency, uninterrupted sightlines, and lighting that reveals the material qualities of the work. The goal is not just to show, but to create the conditions for an object to be understood.
🏛️ Space. The display case is never an isolated object. It operates within a composition of architecture, objects, light, and visitors. Every museum defines itself in dialogue with its own context, and our work is to ensure that the case serves the character of the place and the visitor's experience within it.

Last week, our team handed over The Source: Where Curiosity Sparks Discovery, a new experiential gallery at the Library of Congress opening to the public this Friday, May 9. The new experiential gallery in the Jefferson Building invites visitors aged 8 to 15 to explore the Library's collections across four immersive zones dedicated to text, image, sound, and film. Goppion provided complete exhibition fit-out for the gallery, coordinating design and fabrication of the entire installation, including lighting systems, graphic panels, interactive tables, integrated audio-visual elements, and display cases.

April 15 is Leonardo da Vinci's birthday, and also National Made in Italy Day. It is hard to think of a figure who better embodies both.
Leonardo was an artist, an engineer, a scientist, and a manufacturer. He studied optics and light. He investigated the properties of materials. He filled thousands of pages with observations, hypotheses, and technical drawings, treating the boundary between art and science not as a division but as a workspace.
Over the years, Goppion has had the privilege of protecting many of his works, including the Mona Lisa, The Vitruvian Man, The Last Supper, and many of his original manuscripts and drawings.
