| AB Rogers Design "Cut In Halfs" |
Well where do you start with this one!
We were contacted in the summer by AB Rogers Design and asked if it was possible to cut a toilet in half (a "big job" springs to mind!).
Along with this request was to also cut in half a scooter, lawn mower, type writer, Nike trainer, crash helmet, i-mac the list goes on, around 20 all in all.
We then spent nearly a month quoting and re-quoting, items came and went and then we finally settled on 14. Time had ticked by but we still managed to produce the goods in time.
Some of these never made it to the final piece, but they were fun to do.
We delivered the items to Paul Zak, a professional photographer. He explained that they were to be photographed and presented as "stills" in a film to be shown at the Centre Pompidou in Paris to celebrate Sir Richard Rogers work.
What was interesting was how some items still made sense when cut in half, we realised in the workshop that this was because of their silhouette (all these years on and still learning)...
Oh and can you tell which picture I took and which ones the professional took? |

| Think Tank at Millennium Point in Birmingham |
Think Tank had already purchased a Vision
Station from an American company called Elumens. The design
of this unit was more than adequate for the private sector.
We believe that it is used to train pilots to fly etc but
in the public domain it needed to be a little bit more
robust!
From sketches the designer produced we manufactured a
steel back frame, curved GRP moulded
speaker housings and a sturdy centre consul.
We had to produce a one off shape for the speaker housing,
sculpted from foam and filled to a perfect finish. Once
this had been "signed off" by the client
we then set up moulds and produced two sections of each
and bonded them to individual curved steel frames.
Sprayed and fitted with the speakers they bolted to the
rear frame.
The centre consul had to house the projector at Elumens
exact position. This also bolts to the rear frame making
a very strong, vandal proof interactive display.
When you sit at the consul the screen fills your vision
and you really feel that you are floating in space moving
round the international space station. |

| Bespoke Awards |
These were designed by
PHD, an agency that we have enjoyed working with over the
years, they produced the design for the client's approval
and we did the rest.
Cast in clear acrylic, they have a flange to support the
CD with the client's information printed on. |

| Bespoke Trophies |
This was a last minute project, laser cut
steel, powder coated and attached to a machined plinth with
applied graphics.
From phone call to delivery was four days. Time was tight
with so many different procedures, but we have never let
a client down. |

| Wastepack Recycling Exhibition Prop |
A 6 foot high recycling
bag caricature. As you can see he shows a good resemblance
to the brochure supplied by the client.
After the exhibition he was delivered to their headquarters where we believe
he is working well in reception!. |

| Dragon Boats |
The brief for this cheerful chap was just
that, cheerful / happy.
The boat manufacturers started to sculpt a head but after
the designer saw it he called us in to re-style it if we
could.
They must of had their brief from Dr Frankenstein, it was
scary! So what you see here is the initial Polystyrene caricature.
Then moulds were taken and the finished fleet were put to
sea. Well a large pond actually,but the kids loved them. |
