The National Gallery was one of the first museums to sell made-to-order prints in its shop back in 2003. Keeping ahead of the game, they recently asked Cabinet to design new touchscreen software for print sales and we are pleased to announce our new Adobe Air application is now installed at the Trafalgar Square site.

Customers can browse through thousands of paintings from the esteemed collection on a slick, new interface that showcases every image at its best. The service offers canvases and prints in a range of media and sizes that can be framed and delivered home or collected directly from the till. Shipping overseas is a ready option for tourist visitors.

The interface design makes use of the latest Flash and Air technology and hooks into Cabinet’s bespoke PictureCabinet software and database package.

Prints of Pre-Raphaelite paintings from the internationally-acclaimed collection at Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery are now available to purchase at www.bmagprints.org.uk. The artworks form the largest publically-held collection of Pre-Raphaelite works in the world.

Birmingham is the latest client to join the MemoryPrints group. Prints can be purchased online but visitors to the central Birmingham venue will also shortly be able to view and buy via a kiosk terminal in the gallery.

We’ve just created an overlay for the National Gallery online shop that integrates our MemoryPrints software with their e-commerce site. Visitors to www.nationalgallery.co.uk/shop can now buy a framed print of their favourite masterpiece through the same site and checkout as the rest of the gallery’s merchandise.

The National Gallery is a new client for MemoryPrints and they wanted to have all of their products within their main e-commerce site rather than having a separate site for prints. The overlay is written in Javascript and retains all of the MemoryPrints functionality including various print types, a selection of frames and mounts and stretched canvas options.

Remember the best of this Christmas with a leather photo album from Noble Macmillan’s new e-commerce site at www.noblemacmillan.com. Cabinet designed and built the site for the high-end stationers based in Chelsea.

The service includes an innovative Flash tool so that customers can upload their own photos to the site. They can drag and drop the images into a chosen album or frame and order the finished product with the photos already inserted. Certainly a memorable, ready-made gift for bridesmaids, grandparents or anybody wanting to send photos to a friend.

The shop has an enviable reputation around Chelsea and this word-of-mouth has been captured in the design with customer testimonials dotted around the site. More Recommended Products have also been incorporated into the design to encourage sales and well photographed, high zoom images ensure that customers can see what they are buying in the finest detail.

We are proud to announce that MemoryPrints has brought the paintings, posters and drawings of the Imperial War Museum online and available to purchase as high quality prints.

The outstanding collection covers 20th and 21st Century art relating to conflict and includes the deeply moving ‘Gassed’ (pictured) by John Singer Sargent portraying blinded troops on the Western Front in the First World War.

You can visit the collection at www.iwmprints.org.uk

We’re celebrating the launch of our latest e-commerce site for the Victoria and Albert Museum. The world-famous museum was looking for more functionality and a look and feel that reflected the new brand that they have devised. Having created the previous version five years ago, Cabinet was best-placed to take the site forward.

The new design makes strong use of visuals to attract the customer. It emulates the exciting bricks-and-mortar shop in South Kensington and offers a greater opportunity to promote a wider variety of products upfront. The site is elegant yet remains strong on product promotion with, for example, crisp red banners on sale stock.

Billing itself as the world’s greatest museum of art and design, the V&A’s prestige is reflected in its high quality, exclusive retail offer. Visit www.vandashop.com and get shopping, every penny goes back to the museum.

We are pleased to announce the launch of the new Join Us site for Orange plc.

The site seeks to present the international face of Orange (part of France Telecom) and to welcome and encourage new recruits from all over the world.

The concept was devised by Cabinet’s Creative Director Marta Swannie and features real Orange employees from around the world introducing themselves at a gigantic round table. The site was designed, animated and built by the Cabinet team primarily in Flash.

Working in collaboration with Corporate HR in Toulouse and Corporate Communications in Paris, this is Cabinet’s first customer-facing project with Orange. Cabinet has been the retained agency for the Orange Brand team for many years and has developed an intrinsic understanding of the company’s brand values that enables consistent delivery of relevant, successful sites and applications.

Below are some of the key screens from the new touchscreen Air application launched at the National Gallery.
