Editors🎸 – 15m tour backdrop

We manufactured this epic 15m distressed backdrop for the Editors Tour.

Created from Hessian and PVC, the three interchangeable panels were hand-cut, stitched, draped, and distressed to recreate the client’s design – complete with frayed edges, visible stitching, and dirty-down spray paint.

The PVC sections were also designed as a projection surface for the band’s LX team. We also produced matching blackout panels, stage skirts, and a drum riser skirt to complete the look.

Another great touring project from our in-house manufacturing team.

We’re usually Drapemakers, but we swapped drapes for capes when our friends at the ABTT Theatre Show wanted to surprise the brilliant David Evans.

We had great fun creating the cape and attending the brilliant ABTT Show. We also had the pleasure of creating some upholstered seat cushions for Steeldeck Rentals exhibition stand. Thanks to everyone who stopped by our stand to chat about all thing’s drapery. See you again next year!
