Bristol collections
Art with purpose. Collaboration with impact.
Osborne Clarke’s move to Halo—among the UK’s most sustainable workspaces—signaled more than a change in location. It marked a decisive step toward a future shaped by decarbonisation, digitisation, and urban regeneration.
Within this context, we curated an art collection that not only embodied these themes but nurtured the cultural and emotional identity of the space.
Guided by our values of creative curiosity and intellectual depth, we crafted a collection rich in symbolism and resonance—intertwining tradition with innovation and data with emotion. Its centrepiece—a poem crafted from employee voices—offers a lyrical reflection of their environmental journey and shared responsibility. A standout work by Sarah Dennis, renowned illustrator and papercut artist, layers symbolism and detail to reflect the firm’s values—interweaving growth, heritage, and renewal with quiet power.
Beyond aesthetics, this collection became a cultural catalyst. By introducing co-created commissions, we sparked individual creativity, strengthened collective identity, and fostered deep-rooted engagement. When employees contribute to the artistic language of their workplace, they feel seen, valued and connected. The result? A ripple effect—of purpose, pride, and belonging.
In weaving human stories into themes of urban growth and green space, our curation became a living archive of thought. And by exploring the intersection between traditional technique and digital evolution, we challenged conventional boundaries—creating space for dialogue, for reflection, and for inspiration.
“This collection gives visible form to our vision. It’s a reflection of what matters to us - sustainability, innovation, and community - and it invites ongoing dialogue about our role in shaping the future.”
