Profile

Morris Associates was established in 1987 by Colin Morris with the support of Lord Palumbo and guidance of Peter Carter to provide expertise in museum and exhibition design for creative enlightening exhibits in art, history and science. Since then the company has steadily expanded its disciplines and now offers clients a complete design service including planning, feasibility studies, research and interpretation, interior design, project management and graphic design.

The result of this business collaboration was a substantial investment in well-equipped design studios and an experienced team of designers and support services. From this secure foundation, Morris Associates provides a broad spectrum of design, management, and technical capabilities, which together allow the company to create and test innovative designs in-house in 2D & 3D, and to undertake any individual element of a project from the feasibility and concept design stage, through manufacture to its installation and completion.

The company has resisted the temptation to expand beyond its current scale of activity in order to maintain its reputation for a high standard of quality in each discipline and to develop personal contact with each individual client. To complement its abilities, close working relationships within a team environment have been built with other professional consultants highly respected in their own fields. Areas of expertise (some visible within this website) include Architecture, Cost Control, Installation, Interactive Technology, Lighting Design, Public Relations, as well as Research and Interpretation.

Morris Associates has undertaken commissions for many recognised museums, galleries, visitor centres as well as private companies and individuals. As you will see, the international clients have provided a diverse range of projects, enabling the continuous development of new ideas and techniques as well as the establishment of somewhat smaller satellite studios.
