Case Studies
Living With Machines
Interactive Installation for Leeds City Museum
Designed to engage children visiting the exhibition, this piece featured an interactive mechanism that was visible through child-sized peep holes. Turn the cogs and see how that makes the boat sail, the train drive and the smoke rise.
This project required us to research the mathematics of machinery. Not only did the mechanism have to be perfect to ensure the machine worked, it had to look great on the inside. We created iterations of prototypes to test various mechanisms and ensure the whole piece ran smoothly.

Working with Duke Makes was a breeze. They took my basic idea and made it amazing! First class help and support from design to execution.
Do Books
Do Books wanted a product they could give out as part of their kickstarter campaign. We created designs, initial prototypes and a run of 200 units for them. All of the artworking, product design and production was completed in house.
B-Corp Signage
Certification sign for Engage Interactive
To celebrate achieving their B-Corp Certification, Engage Interactive asked us to create a plaque in line with their ethos. Their certification means the company meets the highest standards of social and environmental performance, public transparency and legal accountability, so the only fitting material for a sign to celebrate this was 100% recycled plastic that was shredded, pressed and lasercut in our studio.
The specific plastic came from a previous project of ours that, when they’d finished using it, was returned to our studio where we could repurpose it. The new plastic recycling station has provided sustainable plastic for projects such as this, and united us with Off Cut Studio through use of their heat press.
The Peripheral set piece
This large scale set piece, created for Hedonist Events, was designed for a premier, as part of a larger immersive installation. We took cues from clips of the original show and designed a piece that could be quickly disassembled into manageable pieces to be installed on an awkward landing. We created a modular shell, sourced props and added show specific details. Scenic painting by Hedonist Events.
Swift logo models
Swift Leeds hosted their conference with the soaring birds we designed and constructed flying above the stage.
We used the #RunCNC to carve the foam core, created a structure to make sure it could hang securely, layered and painted it to match the Swift Leeds Logo 🦅 We also created laser cut stencils so the IOS developers can easily sketch out their designs!
Bespoke event props
This flock of colourful butterfly mascots were designed and produced in house for a national campaign produced by Together For Short Lives. We designed, prototyped and produced a run of 30 butterflies. Each one included 3D printed brackets, CNC cut bases and precision laser cut fabrics.
