Creative Scenic Design That Brings Event Ideas to Life

When the space looks like it was built for one event only, the event feels significant. Bespoke scenic, branded environments, themed installations: these are what take a programme from competent to unforgettable. They photograph well, they make guests stop and look, and they are the moments that get shared after the event ends.

We design and fabricate custom scenic for every event from scratch. Concept renders and CAD drawings at the start so you can see and approve the look before a single panel is cut. CNC routed pieces, vinyl print, soft fabric draping, illuminated structures, all produced in our London workshop and installed by the same team that built them.

Our work covers everything from a hero stage set for an awards ceremony, to a full room transformation for a themed gala, to a hospitality lounge that does not exist anywhere else. Scale, finish and complexity are calibrated to the brief, not pulled from a hire list.

The Team

Our scenic team

Designed in house, built in house, installed in house. One team end to end.

Set Designers

Lead designers who interpret the brief and produce the look. Mood boards, references, sketches and concept renders before any drawing goes to fabrication. They walk the venue early to understand the space and the audience flow.

CAD & 3D Modellers

CAD drawings and full 3D pre-visualisation of every build. Render walkthroughs supplied so clients can sign off the look from every angle before fabrication starts. Engineering review at the design stage to catch any structural issues early.

Fabricators & CNC

Workshop team running CNC routers, panel saws, paint booth and assembly bays. Materials from foamex and dibond to MDF, plywood and steel. Powder coat or hand finish, depending on the look.

Install Crew

On site installers who build the scenic at the venue and dismantle it after. Same team that fabricated it so they know how every piece fits. Out of hours installs to minimise disruption to live event programmes.

Brand Activations

A space that did not exist yesterday.

Pop up branded environments, themed installations, photo moments, immersive walk through experiences. Built for short term hire on a tight install window.

Themed Parties

Full room transformations.

Christmas parties, summer balls, James Bond themes, glamour and gold gala dressings. Ceiling treatments, soft drape, themed centrepieces and entrance arches. Coordinated with lighting and AV for one immersive experience.

Weddings

Unique to the couple.

Custom ceremony arches, bespoke aisle dressing, name reveals and hero photo moments. Reception room dressings that reflect the couple, not a template.

Exhibitions

Stands that stand out.

Bespoke exhibition stands for ExCeL, Olympia, NEC and overseas shows. Modular builds that travel between cities. Branded hospitality lounges and meeting suites within larger stands.

Window Installs

Retail and venue takeovers.

Window scenic for retail brand takeovers, themed venue dressing for product launches, and high street activations. Designed to attract attention from outside and welcome guests inside.
