2 red Velvet Living Couches – Scarlett entertainment 

We were commissioned by Scarlett entertainment to create 2 custom living couches to be used by performers at events on cruise ships. The project had several requirements which we had to fulfil. The sofas had to be light weight, within certain dimensions, able to sit in  comfortably and overall look and feel of luxury and authenticity. We used a combination of materials to achieve the project such as: Birch ply wood, soft foam, luxurious  plush red velvet, light weight intricate carvings. It took several processes to create  these custom living sofas such as, designing, CNC cutting, mould making, wood working, upholstery, gold paint decoration.

Magical frame for giant clock  – TR2 Theatre Royal Plymouth

We were commissioned by TR2 to sculpt a magical scene for   a giant clock with the height of 2.40m use at a Theatre production.

The main brief of this project was to make the magical creatures come to life! We did this by setting a clear contrast  between the hardness of the books and the soft feel of the toys. After sculpting and preparation  we applied FR polyurethane hard coating. As a finish we spray painted the sculpture  with a primer / basecoat.

A take on the Rockefeller sculpture  – TR2 Theatre Royal Plymouth

We were commissioned by TR2 to sculpt  a detailed piece based on the Rockefeller sculpture in NY to use at a Theatre production.

Giant custom pipes – TR2 Theatre Royal Plymouth

We worked with TR2 to create the giant pipes. The largest pipe is 4.5m long.

Working towards precise measurements, a combination of materials were used to achieve the project such as eps, ply, steel and coating.  The pipes were carved from polystyrene, detailed sections fitted. The pipes were then prepared for coating application which includes sanding / filling  all the gaps for smoothing out the surface.

Once prepared  the custom pies were coated with Fr polyurea which is water proof and impact resistant. The project was primed and ready for decoration by TR2.
