Our Department

Have an ambitious creative concept that demands technical know-how to become a reality? You better turn to Simon Sawyer and Gustave Andre – because that’s their department.

Both Simon and Gustave come from creative backgrounds, and since meeting in 2018, have built careers collaborating with artists to realise ambitious projects and with commercial clients to deliver technically complex fit-outs. Their impressive roster of accomplishments to date includes the production of a Celia Hempton sculpture for Art Night and a retrofit of Camille Walala’s studio. Their obsessive commitment to detail is matched by a broad understanding of the fabrication process – whether that’s collaborating with engineers, planners and contractors, figuring out material details or finding precisely the right tool for the job.

WHAT WE DID FOR Our Department

Having the good fortune to meet Simon and Gustave on a project, we were immediately blown away by their technical abilities and creative thinking. We help them to share their work as Our Department, and connect them to anyone in need of a project partner who gets it.
