Lloyds of London Building

Lloyds of London, or at least the Lloyds of London building is iconic in the City of London. Designed by Sir Norman Foster and finished in 1986 it was perhaps, some would say, a homage to the then era of 'yuppie' excess.
I might agree, but kind of not. It's design is certainly excessive, but it's also one of creative inspired interpretation.
The building is fascinating to look at, there seems to be so much to it, so much to look at, so many details and nuances; whether it's the glass elevators rising and falling, or the inside-out nature of the building it's simply a unique building.
Love or hate the whole commercial capitalist era we live in, you certainly can't knock the stunning design of this building.

Photographing this joiner, and then subsequently putting the joiner together, was very, very challenging; but then if it was easy it would be boring.
This joiner is inspired by nothing more than the creative architectural design of the building itself. It would have been so easy to design a building which was something less, something which ticked the boxes without delivering anything of value. It just goes to prove that sometimes if you stick your neck out, it pays off.

The Unseen collaborator

Every Joiner begins in silence, then finds its structure through its unseen collaborator—music. The tempo sets the pace of assembly; melodies suggest movement and balance. Music shapes the emotional architecture of each piece, guiding where energy builds and where calm returns. To truly experience a Joiner, it should be viewed while listening to the music that shaped it. Only then does the visual rhythm align with the heartbeat, the beat, it was born from.

Each Joiner is created but not yet printed.

This is intentional. Printing every piece in advance would compromise the freedom each collector deserves. By commissioning a Joiner at the moment of purchase, you decide its scale and presence—tailored precisely to your space and vision. Every print is then produced to museum-grade archival standards, ensuring permanence, precision, and exclusivity.
