The Public Works recently designed and fabricated a custom display to showcase a new Sierra Designs product at this year’s Outdoor Retailer Trade Show—the leading outdoor industry trade event.

Sierra Designs, outdoor equipment and apparel innovator since 1965, has introduced the game-changing DriDown™ insulation in sleeping bags and jackets (available June 2012). Apparently, thanks to Sierra Designs’ “proprietary molecular level polymer application” each individual down plume…

At the Plainfield Public Library in Indiana, The Public Works collaborated with DEMCO (a unique library supplies provider) on an installation of our Supple Collection furnishings (a unique brand of sustainable library furniture, designed, fabricated and brought to market by The Public Works).  Following this collaboration, DEMCO also hired us to return and document all of their recent projects…

The Plainfield Library in Plainfield, Indiana was our latest Supple Collection install and also one of our biggest to date. An entire tractor-trailer of furniture made right here in our shop was loaded up and shipped out. Five TPW crew members then flew out to do the final assembly and installation. Pieces from the Supple Collection are now installed in several libraries in Colorado, Georgia, Texas and Indiana.

We couldn’t be more excited about kicking off our working relationship with lululemon. They’re a super strong and creative brand with roots out of the snow industry and we have always loved working with Canadians. The first project we did was for an art installation that will be mounted on the wall behind the cash wrap. The theme was to be somewhat lumberjack inspired, so we fired up the chainsaw and dropped a beetlekill tree right out of our back door. This was then cut to size and…

We love that our clients never cease to amaze us with their creativity and projects they come to us with. So when Oakley asked for a trophy that “looks like a torpedo” for a surf contest we just got cracking. We managed to find a WWII tail section of a torpedo and fixed that up nice. We then fabricated a custom stand out of aluminum to match the aesthetic feel. Tags were added for all the previous winners of the event with plenty of space left for this trophy to be passed from champion to…

The Bear Naked Granola brand experience kiosk is now on the way back from the East Coast after stopping at the Teva Games in Vail.

On Board Experiential Marketing came to us because they knew we bring more to the table than just fabrication. Most of what passes through our fab shop starts with napkin sketches from chairlift, trailhead,…

We’ve had an amazing relationship with Red Bull throughout the years that has crossed almost every category of our competencies. We’ve been a part of the Red Bull Media House team for almost 5 years and have shot a huge variety of athletes, events, and musicians.

We put this slideshow together as a quick tour through our years of shooting everything Red Bull. It was a challenge, as curation always is, sorting through the tens of thousands of frames. We edited and re-edited, feeling…

We built the blues JEAN BAR a portable retail experience to take on the road to test new markets and deliver their unique product to regions where they don’t yet have a physical location. The Blues Jean Bar takes an innovative approach to selling denim where knowledgeable friendly “Jeans Tenders” help customers find their perfect pair of jeans. They have 9 brick and mortar locations and 3 mobile units nationally and are rapidly expanding.

We already posted about designing, building, delivering, and installing the branding for the 2011 Red Bull Cold Rush in Silverton as well as shooting the event. We promised a video in that post so here it is:

We also just headed to Texas with a trailer full of infrastructure goodies to deliver. We designed and built this DJ booth is for Red Bull account Rich’s Bar. It is fabricated from powder-coated steel and fixed with color changing strobing LED lights side lighting the front branding.

This year Red Bull brought Cold Rush, the coolest backcountry event in skiing, into our backyard and we were there to help with a range of services from branding and trophy creation, to logistic help, to photography (Ian is also writing a feature piece for one of the main snow mags on the event).

The event:
Not enough can be said about the challenges of bringing a full scale production…
