Continuing our long established relationship with GOSH, Sable have been appointed to design a new corridor environment on Level 6 of the Variety Club Building (VCB). We will be designing a jungle scene for 2 sections (both sides) of curved corridor that links Lion, Giraffe and Elephant wards using appropriate themes for paediatric cancer inpatient wards.
The scene will reflect all three wards and include lion and giraffe characters and the development of a new character for elephant ward.
The commission is the latest in a 20yr association that Sable has with GOSH.
Adrian Kimpton of Sable&Hawkes said: “Although a major and significant piece of work, this is just one in a long line of similar projects that we’ve had the privilege of working on for GOSH. And throughout, our objective has always been the same, to help create a positive, stimulating and supportive environment for patients, families, visitors and staff.”

It is well documented in medical research that the display of visual art, especially images of nature, is an invaluable aid for staff in distracting and engaging children who naturally find visiting hospital a frightening and stressful experience, as well as such work leading to positive effects on health outcomes, including shorter length of stay in hospital, increased pain tolerance and decreased anxiety.
