Illusion Design & Construct

Illusion Design & Construct We transform ambitious ideas into real-world experiences. Creating physical environments that support storytelling, performance and experience.

‘Illusion Design and Construct’ is a creative new company committed to designing and building high quality scenery for all sectors of the entertainment industry.

‘Illusion’ was born out of frustration with poor quality standards of modern scenery. We endeavor to produce interesting scenery that enthralls, influences and entertains, finished to the highest possible standard, but that is also pract

ical, reducing time spent fixing problems on site. We are happy to assist and even pilot the design process, which sets us apart from our competitors. Our unique selling point is that we design as well as construct. This creative insight and ability to design allows us to empathize and creatively problem solve sympathetically to the designer’s vision. When given the freedom to design, our ability to create and an in depth knowledge of materials properties and their limitations, allows us to create original designs which attract attention and add an edge to any production. We recognize good, honest, flexible customer service is essential supporting our clients throughout the project. Communication is the key and we understand how busy our clients lives can be, so each job however large or small will receive its own dedicated project manager who, with an eye for detail, co‐ordinates every aspect of the process from inception to opening night guaranteeing a stress free process. With an advanced knowledge of numerous 2D/3D computer design programs, we will build your project part by part in order to highlight potential problems before they arise. It is this forethought, care and attention that allows us to produce modern, seemingly complex results with straightforward thinking. We adapt our building process to the project, to ensure maximum flexibility and creativity. Experimental and innovative, we are not afraid to challenge the traditional scenery methods and we often pioneer new techniques to try and make the process easier and produce scenery of any shape without compromising our high quality finish. We have many regular freelancers who have been working and collaborating with us since our launch. We pick individuals based on their merit and the requirements of the particular job. We ensure that all our workforce are as passionate as we are about the project and once assigned a task we ensure that they see it through to completion maintaining a consistent level of finish. With our experience in the industry we understand the importance of a deadline; providing anything from quotes to finished products at short notice is never a problem.

Our 3D printer is helping us push scenic production further.

Large-format 3D printing has become an integral part of our production process, enabling us to create large-scale, complex scenic elements faster, with less waste and a more sustainable approach.

Printing pieces up to 1.8m high in a single run, it gives us the ability to produce bold, intricate forms at a scale that match the ambitious ideas we realise.

It allows us to move from concept to build quicker, reduce material-heavy fabrication, and tackle complex designs with greater efficiency and precision.

Quicker turnaround. Less waste. Bigger possibilities

Illusion acquires Southern Van Lines Storage.

Scenery storage has always been part of our service offering but now we have more of it ... LOTS more!

More space allows us to better support larger, more complex builds – projects that evolve over longer timelines and demand greater coordination from concept through to delivery. It also means we can hold, maintain and redeploy scenic elements more effectively, reducing the need to start from scratch each time, and in turn reducing waste.

Combined with our workshop, it creates a more connected approach - where build, storage, and re-use work together as part of the same process.

We recently partnered with Escape Rooms to design, fabricate and deliver the fit-out of their hospitality spaces – including the reception, locker rooms, bar and restaurant.

The ambition was to bring these areas closer to the experience itself – not as a separate environment, but an extension of it.

Designed by our in house studio and taking cues from the game worlds themselves, we developed a space that feels more immersive and in keeping with the wider setting – where the transition from gameplay to downtime feels seamless, not separate.
