Stage One's work included; building the core set for the main presentation area, masking flatage for the dining area and stage backing for a smaller presentation area.
Nick Murtagh designed the main set with a core emphasis on smooth, flowing lines, and Stage One was thus firstly tasked with constructing four juxtapositioned oval stages of varying heights, each carpeted in a different colour and with a painted facia. The company then built a series of white filled cloth flats, providing a backing for two rear projection screens, and a central logo panel.
The seamless nature of the set was emphasised as the central logo panel curved downwards to blend into the staging; the boxed surround from the stage left screen also curved and swept down into the lowest stage; and the boxed surround from the stage right screen continued seamlessly round and across the stage to form a white upholstered box seating area, before dropping smoothly down into the stage area.
Simon Wood, sales & marketing director, said: "The set was fairly complex with the quality of the smooth lines being key." He added: "I am confident that our team handled the job with the company's usual meticulous attention to detail."
