Warwick Court
ST. PAULS, LONDON
Warwick Court (also known as 5 Paternoster Square) is a prominent 180,000 sq ft commercial and office building located next to St Paul’s Cathedral in the heart of the City of London.
CURATORIAL APPROACH
The collection for Warwick Court was conceived around the building’s prominent position beside St Paul’s, drawing on Paternoster Square’s historic and contemporary associations with commerce and finance. Giles Miller’s suspended Dual sculptures use intricate gold-toned ‘penny-junctions’ to form two jewel-like structures, shifting in density and transparency as viewers move through the entrance.
Within the main reception, Christophe Gaignon’s La Belle Oxyde continues this material narrative through a reflective sculptural surface opening onto a vortex of shimmering gold. Together, the works create subtle references to coins, exchange and value, while introducing warmth, movement and reflection to the architecture.

CURATORIAL APPROACH
Georgia Merton’s Le Panoramic, Le Swoosh and La Daille bring the scale and stillness of the Alpine landscape into the workplace. Based on the artist’s photographs, the cyanotypes translate mountain scenes into rich blue tones on textured cotton rag paper.
Selected for their atmospheric depth, the works respond to the interior’s blue palette and chrome finishes, their handmade surfaces adding a tactile counterpoint to the polished metal. The expansive landscapes offer a sense of distance within the space, while the texture of the paper rewards a closer look.
