the brief
Prop Studios were commissioned by Modern Luxury Ltd to design and manufacture a series of large props to complete four stunning windows in the Al Rubaiyat Department Store, Saudi Arabia.
The brief was elegant luxury and it was proposed each window would revolve around a large prop element.
"I just want to let you know, the props look beautiful, they well blended with the set up I created here, it's amazing that I did not see the on-going process while I was blindly doing the rest of setup on the other side of the world, and the result was very complete just like my sketches even more striking. Everyone is commenting super positively about them."
design & manufacture
Suspended in the first window is a large chandelier with smoked glass perfume bottles and crystal droplets. This stunning chandelier was constructed by 3 steel rings connected with a chain. It was suspended above a beautifully laid dining table, showcasing pieces available within the store itself.
The second window shows a giant gramophone with a rotating record with silk flowers cascading from the trumpet.
In the third window, the section of a carousel holds centre stage with scenically painted details. Instead of typically traditional carousel horses, we see giant versions of perfume bottles between poles and acrylic boxes to showcase product.
In the final window a giant perfume bottle can be seen tilted within a lavish bedroom scene, complete with decorative wallpaper mounted with rows of antique gold frames, mirrors and a luxury dresser table.
All the props were created to an extremely high standard to fit with sets that the client had built by their team in Saudi Arabia.
