We’ve been designing and making events for the past 10 years now, so we decided to treat ourselves to a new website. We hope you like it.

Stars In Their Eyes Stage Set
Tonight, Matthew...
It’s not often Elton John, Johnny Cash, Shirley Bassey and Michael Jackson appear on the same bill. But nothing is quite what is seems on the classic Stars In Their Eyes.
Stars In Their Eyes stage set detail
Each element of our stage set was cut on our CNC machine, enabling us to get the lovely details in the title and criss-crossing, uplit backdrop. Golf ball light bulbs and a simple starcloth added a little extra pizzazz to the entrance.
Like the performers transforming into their musical idols, we were asked by Elysium Global Events to transform the Savoy Hotel into the classic Saturday night tv contest. Our stage set and lighting created the look and feel of the original program; a large walk through star allowing the performers their grand entrance, and two large projection screens televising the action. We couldn’t do much about the singing unfortunately.

Leadenhall Ball 2011
Transylvanian Nights
On a dark dark night, in a dark dark market...some very generous guests helped raise funds for charity. The occasion was the bi-annual Leadenhall Ball and this year it had a dark, eerie, gothic twist.
Ball Associates invited us to visualise the Leadenhall Ball Committee's concept of Transylvanian Nights for this year’s event; a fund raising auction for the NSPCC and assorted children’s charities. A theme which perfectly suited the public market with it’s cobbled streets and grand architecture.

The guests stepped from the afternoon sun into a blanket of darkness punctuated by gently flickering candles and moody lighting. Statues, candelabras, foliage and gravestones created a gothic landscape lit by moody lighting and a full moon projection. A giant gothic chandelier hung over the dinner and auction for which we set up a live camera feed so all the guests saw the action. A slick, black, LED dancefloor beckoned the 420 guests to a bit of dancing for afters. The evening raised a fangtastic £76,000 (sorry, couldn’t resist).

Japanese Blossom Light Feature
East Meets East (London)
The magic of the Orient was recreated in Old Billingsgate Market recently, when we helped fill the huge venue with some impressive Eastern delights.
We were invited by Rouge Events to work with their inspired concepts and design to produce an event for Nissan that would bring together the traditional and the modern wonder of the East. Our aim was to create set pieces that complimented the massive scale of the building and to fluently combine a rich variety of visual wonders. So Manga met Cherry Blossom met Neon met Samurai in a coherent, dazzling, themed whole.
