During the early part of the 20th century, department stores became big retail business, introducing the need for bust forms and display figures for their professional window-trimming teams. This led to a huge increase in business and diversification into more display fixtures and fittings.
By the 1950s and 60s, figures began to be produced in fibre glass, which was considered much more robust and gave a greater definition to the anatomic details of the mannequins. The company embraced this new production technique and continues to manufacture in these two materials, as well as looking into new and sustainable alternatives.
In the 1990s, the brand name was changed to Proportion London, and the company’s ethos, practising original artisan techniques and craftsmanship, using a library of original shape moulds and early archive material, remains strong.
Today, the company nurtures an international portfolio that spans customers from respected high street and high-end brands to world-class museums and visitor attractions.
