Evelina London, Oral Health

Art in Site were hired as art consultants for the new Oral Health department following the success of our wayfinding project at the Evelina London main site. During our research we found that children find it difficult to keep still whilst receiving dental treatment, leading to distress and disruption. In response, we decided to develop a series of ceiling panels – designed to look like windows into a fantasy world – which appear overhead when seated in the dentist’s chair. These provide a means of focusing and distracting attention during treatment, thus reducing the usual fidgeting and distress.
