— The Story

A studio that says yes to the hard ones.

For 25+ years, our team has been building the physical world of broadcast news, live events, fashion runways, retail environments, museum exhibits and film productions. We've cast one-off awards, welded structural steel for sculptural facades, hand-painted matte finishes for 4K cameras, and installed traveling trade show fleets across three time zones.

What ties it together is the shop. Every discipline lives in the same room. Every designer walks past the welder they're drawing for. The result is a studio where the answer to "can you build this?" is almost always yes — and where the drawings and the finished piece look like the same thing.

We've earned the trust of a long list of valued and loyal clients — broadcasters, museums, retailers, agencies, and production companies — many for a decade or more. We'd love to speak with you about your next project.

— The Crew

People who finish each other's drawings.

Designers, welders, millworkers, painters, and installers — most have been here long enough that a drawing review is more argument than presentation. That's on purpose. The best sets come from a team that isn't afraid to push back on the sketch.
