Tanya Baxter Contemporary is thrilled to share the Heathrow VIP project – the refurbishment and multi-faceted transformation of the Windsor Suite by Heathrow. 

In partnership with Oliver Burns Studio, this ambitious three-year transformation establishes an unprecedented fusion of aviation luxury and museum-caliber art.

The Windsor Suite exemplifies discrete sophistication, offering an unparalleled VIP experience that includes private lounges, Michelin-starred cuisine, and exclusive terminal-to-aircraft chauffeur service. This sanctuary of refinement features expedited security protocols, personalised shopping services, and a carefully curated in-terminal gallery space.

The meticulous design philosophy draws inspiration from the distinguished legacy of iconic travellers who have graced Heathrow’s corridors. The space showcases collaborations with Britain’s most esteemed craftsmen, including Axminster Carpets, Cole & Son, and Davidson London, each suite embodying the essence of British refinement through sophisticated textures and sartorial influences.

The Exhibition
