Souvenir Scenic Studios was formed in 1988 as the brainchild of Simon Kenny. Since its beginnings, it has grown into a top name in scenery building and specialist prop-making in London. Souvenir Scenic Studios has extensive experience and is widely recognised in the industry, and can produce exceptional work. The company’s capabilities include the production of both traditional, fine-painted scenery, as well as specialist pieces in sculpture and elaborate coups de theatre. Work by Souvenir Scenic Studios has appeared in many different venues, from West End productions to high fashion.
Pieces and sets created by Souvenir Scenic Studios have included appearances in musicals, like ‘Love Never Dies’, ‘Wizard of Oz’ and ‘Betty Blue Eyes.’ Souvenir Scenic Studios has also done work on various dramatic plays, and has even assisted with the transfer of many different Broadway productions. Souvenir Scenic Studios even creates unique pieces that have appeared in various ballet productions, including the Royal Ballet, and has done work at both the ENO and Covent Garden.
The work done by Souvenir Scenic Studios has even appeared abroad. In May of 2014, the company had pieces completed in both London and Tokyo for a production of ‘Miss Saigon.’ Souvenir Scenic Studios built both the Helicopter, as well as the Liberty Head, which were featured in both locations. Both pieces received acclaim from the Daily Mail in a piece by Quentin Letts.
The fashion industry has also repeatedly called upon Souvenir Scenic Studios to provide unique and innovative pieces for fashion shows. Alexander McQueen regularly pairs up with Souvenir Scenic Studios to create dynamic scenery, including the Kate Moss Pepper’s Ghost in 2006. In that particular display, Souvenir Scenic Studios made use of a 19th century optical device, which projected Kate Moss’ image onto a pyramid made out of glass. This display received critical acclaim from a leading fashion editor. Other top names that have utilised the services of Souvenir Scenic Studios include Louis Vuitton, YSL, Burberry, Christian Dior, and Stella McCartney. Leading photographers around the globe also enjoy the company’s work, and big names in the industry like Nick Knight and Mario Testino have called upon the company for dynamic set building for exceptional photography.
