Case Studies
Our work
Case Studies
Twenty-two we have made. The photographs are our own, taken at the event.
They run from a table for a hundred and fifty laid in a private woodland, to four street food trucks built into the Cloisters of Westminster Abbey, to three days in Florida with the US Navy SEALs.
Nothing here came out of a catalogue. The trucks were built to the contours of the stone. The tree at Native Bankside was cut from recycled steel. The alligator was carved at the table.

Waddesdon Manor and Westminster Abbey both keep a short list of suppliers. We have been on both for years.
The venues we work in →What one of these costs
It depends where. The same idea costs one thing in a field and quite another in a Grade I listed Cloister, where the stone has to be protected and the whole build has forty-five minutes. The planning fee and the budgets we work to are on one page.
Most people arrive with a feeling and no idea what to call it. The ten worlds are a place to start.
