About

Founded by Tom Salvat and Oliver Townsend, our work exists at the intersection of culture, storytelling, design, and preservation.

We curate rare and iconic cultural artifacts — objects that carry emotional weight, collective memory, and historical significance — transforming them into immersive artistic installations and collectible experiences.

From legendary film and television props to music memorabilia, sporting history, and culturally defining objects, every piece we source is chosen not simply for rarity, but for the emotion it evokes: nostalgia, wonder, joy, identity, and connection.

Our philosophy is simple: culture deserves to be preserved beautifully.

Co-founder Tom Salvat is a serial entrepreneur, AI business leader, published Forbes contributor, and lifelong collector whose career has taken him across the world’s auctions, private collections, studios, and cultural circles. Alongside building and scaling technology businesses internationally, Tom has spent decades sourcing and preserving iconic pieces of entertainment, music, sport, and cinematic history.

Before entrepreneurship, Tom was also a published musician, with music released commercially through major retailers including HMV during the early 2000s. His lifelong relationship with music, media, and popular culture continues to shape the emotional core of the brand. Today, his network, collector relationships, and passion for preserving culturally significant objects form the foundation of our curation process.

Co-founder Oliver Townsend is an award-winning stage, set, and costume designer whose work spans theatre, live performance, and visual storytelling. A graduate of Cardiff University, Oliver has worked across acclaimed productions and institutions including Shakespeare’s Globe and the English Touring Opera, developing a reputation for creating emotionally resonant spaces, atmospheric worlds, and visually striking narrative environments.

Together, Tom and Oliver combine two complementary disciplines:

the preservation of cultural history and the art of immersive storytelling.

The result is a unique creative studio that transforms collectible artifacts into curated visual experiences — installations that feel cinematic, emotional, and timeless.

Every composition we create is designed to honour the story behind the object while elevating it into something sculptural, experiential, and museum-worthy.

This is more than collecting.

It is cultural preservation through art and design.

For collectors, enthusiasts, brands, and storytellers alike, we create pieces that reconnect people with the moments, characters, music, films, and memories that shaped them.

Because the objects we remember most are never just objects.

They are part of who we are.
