Making history

Published Monday 8 February 2010 at 14:55

London-based drape specialist Cover It Up has been appointed as a ‘preferred supplier’ to the Natural History Museum in South Kensington.

As a standard draping package for events being staged, the company’s six-strong team will install a 160 x 25ft LED full colour changing starcloth along one side of the room, which has to be hung very quickly in the hour between the doors being shut at 6pm and the event starting at 7pm.

In addition to this, specials are often needed for assorted ancillary rooms, depending on the event layout and concept, involving draping with different materials like velvet and trevira.

The company was also involved when the new Darwin Centre opened at the museum, hanging various baffles and black serge drapes to close down the space and ensure that people could be contained in different areas - again all achieved in a one-hour time slot.
