The Process
The Process

Atelier and Apropos launched their new range of garden studio including a new structure for the existing range. The new garden studio structure for our stand was build in our factory and transported down to Birmingham on a hiab lorry as a completed studio. It was then lifted into place at the NEC forming the main componant for our stand. Our team then built a large decking area surrounding the studio which included two seating areas and an apropos model. The stand was made up of aluminium, glass and timber and decorated with furniture from Ocean home and garden and plants and flowers from Barkers the Florist.
