Lining the walls of history at the world's most prestigious art fairs.
Each year, LOCK5 delivers the interior roof linings for two of the world's most prestigious art fairs - transforming Neptunus' vast temporary structures into gallery-worthy spaces worthy of the art inside.
Working with Neptunus and 2020 Events in the heart of Regent's Park, our team designs, fabricates and installs bespoke modular lining systems across structures totalling the equivalent of three full-size football pitches.
Temporary structures. Permanent standards.
THE BRIEF
Create a seamless, high-finish interior for a 50m-wide structure - fast enough to meet a three-day installation window, refined enough to sit alongside world-class art.
BUILT DIFFERENT
With no room for error and no time to waste, LOCK5 designed a fully modular roof lining system - fabricated in numbered sections, connected by a custom zip-and-flap system, and built to be reused year after year.
Purpose-made access zips allow air conditioning to be second-fixed without disturbing the finish. Every panel is sized to fit an industrial washing machine, returning to site pristine. Every section is numbered to ensure bespoke pre-fabricated zips line up perfectly across trades.
Three days. Three football pitches. Zero compromise.
THE RESULT
Delivered within a tight multi-trade programme, our lining system gives galleries from around the world the backdrop their work deserves - invisible infrastructure, immaculate finish.
Art deserves the right setting. We build it.
“LOCK5 offer a proactive approach throughout the design and planning process and their installation teams are experienced, courteous and resourceful."
