Hi all,
At the end of 2019, we were tasked with the design and build of a period sedan chair to carry Helen Mirren onto the Red Carpet.
The chair was constructed as a super lightweight steel frame, clad in thin birch ply. It was then upholstered throughout, with beautiful detailing. Internally we made plush seating in grey velvet.
The Sedan chair was designed to be carried by four of our team dressed as Cossacks. We specifically designed the two carrying handles, to slide into a hidden recess, so when the chair was lowered for Helen to step out, they would not detract from the photo opportunities.
It was lovely to meet Helen Mirren, who was absolutely charming and complimented us on the design of her luxurious transport.
