We engage with clients to explore their vision and draw on our multi-disciplinary team of design, engineering, materials and sustainability expertise to shape and develop products for now and the future.

Project specific solutions include the Bentley Hero Light, perfectly illuminating and showcasing Bentley's hero car, creating an unforgettable experience for customers.

Handwashing in emergencies
Jengu
Supported by Arup’s Community Engagement programme, our ongoing collaboration with the British Red Cross, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and humanitarian response organisations resulted in Jengu, a new handwashing unit designed to save lives. It supports safe handwashing behaviour among the world’s poorest and most vulnerable communities.
Our work with RSSB created the first train seat comfort assessment tool to help train operators rate the comfort of seats as part of a growing industry focus on enhancing the passenger experience of rail journeys.
Together with our acoustics and structures specialists, we created Memory & Light for London’s V&A Museum and the Be Open Sound Portal sound pavilion for the London Design Festival. The travelling pavilion provided visitors with an unforgettable multi-sensory experience in Trafalgar Square, illustrating how immersive sound can be used to experience space.
