Giant plants

We were commissioned to design and create giant plant installations for an exhibition stand at Glee garden and outdoor living show at the NEC in Birmingham. We used a combination of photographic and printing techniques along with hand made plant structures and painstakingly finished flowers and leaves. The finished plants were mounted into custom made display stands/planters – these were designed to showcase the range of products available.

We were delighted when Fortnum and Mason asked us to produce these giant Valentine’s Day hearts for their windows. They were based on a beautiful new heart shaped chocolate box design. After we created the giant free-standing heart shapes, we added intricate 3D gold metal details and panels. We are in love with the finished result! See the video of us adding the details here.

Leading up to the teas department, this flock of beautiful golden winged teacups was installed in the stairwell of Fortnum and Mason in Piccadilly. The wings were individually cast and then decorated with gold leaf to give a bright metallic effect.

We created this beautiful postbox and wrapped it in an iconic Liberty print. This stood outside the store in the run up to Christmas for posting letters to Santa Claus. Standing proudly on top of the box was a hand sculpted and painted wood effect owl. This lovely feature was based on a carved owl in the central atrium of Liberty.

We designed and produced these giant paper flowers to a very tight deadline – we had just one week . These were made entirely from scratch using a variety of techniques – including laser cutting, paper engineering, pattern cutting and quilling.

For the New Year Liberty windows, we worked with Liberty and Gus & Stella to produce this vibrant explosion of colourful Liberty prints. We created props incorporating movement and screens to showcase Gus & Stella’s animations. Three props used motorised elements – an oscillating tie and oven glove and a lady with a spinning bow on her dress. It all added up to a bright and vibrant start to the year!

Giant Sprouts

These giant sprouts were used for the John Lewis Christmas press show 2015. We made a huge wooden chopping board as a podium and added our oversize knife prop to complete the scene. People attending the show had great fun posing with the giant sprouts. People either love or hate sprouts – but we think they loved these!
