We Are The Visual Unit
A production partner for agencies who want ideas that don’t just exist, but exist beautifully.
We bridge creativity and craft: fabrication, print, engineering, logistics, installation, the full spectrum of making… and for some projects, the quiet return-to-originals once the magic’s done.
Apart from our wide range of print techniques and finishes, our builds span materials and mediums: wood, metal, acrylic, concrete, light, sound, interaction, and pretty much anything else you can throw at us.
From prototypes to full-scale environments, we help you refine concepts, solve technical challenges, and deliver work that feels effortlessly smooth, even when it isn’t, thanks to our hands-on approach.
And if it needs to be engineered, cut, welded, printed, prototyped, or assembled at 3 a.m. with snacks, that’s where we shine, because what truly sets us apart is the team behind the tools.
Designers, makers, builders, problem-solvers, and genuinely good humans who care about the details, the process, and the people they’re building for.
We’re the ones who stay until it’s right, adapt when things change, and make sure the final moment is something everyone’s proud to put their name on.

We’re proud to be SafeSupplier verified, giving you full confidence in our processes, safety, and compliance.
Moments We’ve Brought to Life
The Barbie Car
Selfridges came to us with a handmade sketch and a tight budget, and we set out to bring their Barbie vision to life. We rebuilt the design in 3D, CNC-cut the parts, and shaped an MDF core with foam and fiberglass to achieve a true car-style painted finish.
The result was a full-scale, Corvette C1–inspired Barbie car that became a standout photo spot for kids and adults at a time when the Barbie movie had just launched and the world was covered in pink.
Air France – 90 Years in the Air
We transformed the Iconic Images Gallery in Piccadilly into a feels-like airport check-in experience that welcomed guests straight into a bar. We reimagined the space with a check-in desk, freestanding walls, curtains, a bespoke bar, a circular stage, interactive screen zones, lighting, and seating areas, creating a fully immersive environment for a one-night-only celebration.
SEPHORA Stores
When Sephora opens a new store, the launch comes with a multi day celebration, VIP moments, weekend promotions, and a full schedule of brand-led activity. We support the creative side of these openings end-to-end, delivering everything from furniture, green room setups, graphics, carpet and staging, to bespoke backdrops, DJ Booth, spinning wheels, transport, storage, and more.
ON Soft Wins
For ON’s Soft Wings campaign, the brand wanted an experiential moment that truly showcased the softness of the new shoe line. We transformed the interior of an Airstream trailer, lining it with ultra soft, teddy feel fabric in a very bright green, creating a calming space for visitors to relax and explore the collection. Working closely with the ON creative team, we led the sourcing, conversion, and installation of the trailer, as well as the floor graphics, shoe display, temporary branding, props, sound, transport, and de-rig, bringing the immersive experience to life.
O2 Glencoe
Scottish Highlands
We supported Sofar Sounds as they teamed up with O2 to deliver an intimate secret gig broadcast live from the Scottish Highlands. The full show was streamed simultaneously to audiences at Outernet Tottenham Court Road in London and to viewers on YouTube. Our team handled the long-haul logistics, moving equipment over 1,000 miles to set the stage: installing graphics, building the performance setup, and leaving the site ready for the artists to step straight into.
Metro Bank Activation
To support Metro Bank’s new branch openings across the UK, we were brought in to create a mobile activation space that could promote the brand, welcome locals, and showcase their services. The setup needed to be easy to transport, quick to build on high streets and town centres, and simple to put up and take down within a single day, ready to move on to the next activation point.
We hope you’ve enjoyed this selection of case studies, each one showing different spaces, budgets, and creative challenges.
It’s only a snapshot of what we do, but it should give you a solid feel for our capabilities as a team.
Here are some additional project images too, just to give a broader sense of our work.
