Industry reports that Wolff Olins is to be acquired by US-based e-business group Scient were denied by Wolff Olins’ press office this week. A UK spokesman for Scient declined to comment.

Both groups are currently working together on the launch of a joint art gallery e-commerce website for the Tate Modern and New York’s Museum of Modern Art, with Scient involved in the design and build of the project, and Wolff Olins overseeing the branding.

Wolff Olins founder Wally Olins also declined to comment.
