craftspeople & creatives
With its own independent London workshop, our Set & Scenery department services a variety of partners from agencies, media outlets, event organisers, theatre designers, retailers and entertainment companies. From West End productions and national tours, to delivering the perfect backdrop for your next staged production - if you want people to see it, we can design and build it.
project architects
We know that each project is unique, and that's why we've curated an exceptional team of talented craftspeople and creatives who are at the highest echelons of their fields - allowing us to execute flawless visual experiences. Given the broad range of our expertise, we can support your event or project in a way that works for you and your company. Whether that's creating a bespoke staging service from concept through to build and installation or if you simply want us to perfectly construct an existing design, we’ve got you covered.
a safe pair of hands
At Wise we pride ourselves on our dedication and commitment to quality and finish - this is one of the reasons all our set and staging projects are created in our independent studio. We always strive to be dynamic and adaptable to produce premium results on time and, just as importantly, on budget.
With over 5,000 square feet of workshop space, full of CNC machinery, carpentry, engineering, prop making and scenic art facilities we are able to support projects of all sizes and scales.
green solutions
Sustainability is a commitment deeply embedded in the way we work. We question every facet of our supply chains, responsibly source ethical and recyclable materials and always suggest product life-cycle solutions. We ensure that the environment is considered at every stage of the process, from concept creation through to construction, installation and disposal.
Wise proudly works with local schools and youth theatres where we ‘re-purpose’ materials and set builds. Anything that we are not able to re-use in this way is recycled. We are consistently reviewing our performance and objectives, ensuring that we are always accountable for our actions.
our solutions
Our Set & Scenery team can work with you in a number of ways to create the perfect look and feel for your event production or project.
design
Our design team will work with you to understand your vision for your project or event as well as your measurements for success. Every detail is thoughtfully considered, without limitation, during the design process. We'll then present our concepts through 2D and 3D construction drawings as well as design visuals to show just how we'll exceed your expectations.
construction
Every item within your staging and set is handcrafted by our reputable team of artists, fabricators, and carpenters who offer a wealth of industry experience. We use the latest equipment from CNC machinery, to prop making facilities, to ensure that every item leaving our warehouse is built impeccably and designed to impress.
delivery
Delivering excellence with military precision is second nature to our team. Whether delivering solutions in a heritage venue, studio, theatre or street we treat each build individually and uphold the highest health and safety and site management standards.
We can also manage all of the finer details such as integrated lighting, sound, AV and electrical elements to ensure your set or staging stands out from the crowd.
case studyThe Wheel of Time Experience,
Tower of London
We worked with Prime Video to launch their epic drama series, The Wheel of Time, in an immersive fan experience at the Tower of London. The New Armouries were transformed into a Medieval Tavern which featured a bespoke stage and set for the panel as well as extensive styling elements. Other event features included a burning stake, forest projections to the side of the White Tower and a secondary remote broadcast set in the Medieval Palace. The event concluded with an exclusive screening of the first episole for 60 lucky guests in the White Tower.
