Preserving the Past with Expert Museum Storage Solutions.
At CDS, we’re proud to be a long-standing Museum’s Association Corporate Member, trusted by museums across the UK for our expertise in designing and manufacturing bespoke museum furniture. From archival storage cabinets and museum display cases to custom conservation furniture, we create tailored solutions that protect the priceless collections shaping our shared history.
Behind every great exhibition are thousands of artefacts, fossils, taxidermy specimens, and historic documents carefully preserved out of sight. At CDS, we make sure these hidden treasures are stored safely and securely, so they can continue to tell their stories for generations to come.
Proper preservation of historic documents is vital, not just for protecting paper and ink, but for safeguarding the knowledge and heritage they hold. Without the right archival storage environment, materials can deteriorate due to light, humidity, temperature fluctuations, or chemical reactions. That’s why our museum storage furniture is designed using archival-grade materials that meet the highest conservation standards.
Each piece of furniture we craft combines precision engineering with an understanding of museum collections care. Our bespoke storage systems are built to provide stable, long-term protection while maximising space and accessibility. Whether you need custom drawers for specimen storage, document archive cabinets, or museum-grade display units, CDS delivers solutions that protect your collection and enhance operational efficiency.
We take great pride in supporting curators, conservators, and heritage professionals in their mission to preserve the past and protect the future. With CDS, you gain more than just expertly made furniture, you gain a trusted partner dedicated to the ongoing care of your collection.
