Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust
We have been commissioned to create a landmark suspended sculpture for the main atrium of the new National Rehabilitation Centre, opening later in 2025.
Our installation will feature 2,000 recycled plastic oak leaves and more than 700 pewter acorns, inspired by the Soar Valley landscape and the concept “from little acorns, mighty oaks grow.”
Each of the 750 strands will symbolise a patient the centre supports each year.
The work reflects cycles of renewal, resilience, and growth, offering beauty, reflection, and a deep connection to nature for patients, staff, and visitors as they embark on their rehabilitation journeys.
